Maybe CSP-Occam is what you are looking for?


But I am not quite sure what you mean by 'event-based language' - you
can create a purely even-driven program in any language, if you divide
it into an


1. initialization
2. run
3. exit


Most device-drivers work this way, and many of them are coded in
assembly. But maybe this is not what you meant, maybe you are looking
for a language that better captures the semantics of modern operating
systems and programming models.


Such a language is Beta (www.mjolner.com) - it is not 'event based' it
is 'pattern based' - a pattern is a more generic entity than 'class'
or 'object'.
