In 1986, I interviewed a company in Markham Ontario that was developing
its own better-than-Unix computer. The hardware (!!!) was strictly
event-driven, and the software (at the API level) was simulated
event-based. I'm sorry but I forget the company name, and they're not
there anymore.


I didn't get the chance to join their team, so I wasn't allowed to see
the language design.


So, Per, it's been done before. I think it's a good idea. Maybe somebody
out there knows about this?
