Thanks for sending these, John! Just got round to reading the second
one, and the event loop sounds much like the picture I put on the
cover of the 2nd edition of my book. It also makes me wonder if Java
and C# multithreading are too heavy-duty for what we are trying to do
in FBP? The AMPS multithreading (IBM mainframe green threads written
in Assembler) was much more light-weight, and we ran a bank on a 2
Mips machine! See also Sriram Srinivasan's Kilim -

- although IIRC there were some programmability problems with it.
