I am not sure what a "event-only language" would mean. From
your message, it seems that you want to make events a basic type of
the language, along with the associated operations. I am not sure what
you might gain from this, beyond (possibly) cleaner syntax.
After all, you can think of "main()" (in C) as an implicit
handler for the event "start_execution".
