You are still missing my point. Event-oriented code necessarily becomes non-linear and fragmented, with logic weaving in and out of event handlers, as supposed to classic synchronous, sequential code. This applies to any system based on "callbacks" — ie., asynchronous event handling — including Erlang.


No it doesn't. I can handle just those events that are relevant to the series of states I care about in order in Erlang. I can also toss them into another process. Interleaving is not required in Erlang.
