While I am not certain what the GP specifically references, I can say that about 40 years ago the Actor model[1] was officially documented. The literature documenting benefits of an Actor model over a callback approach are easily found. For understanding the pain which callback-based systems often produce, a person can familiarize themselves with the Win32 API (disclaimer: this is a masochistic exercise not recommended for anyone). 1 - https://www.cypherpunks.to/erights/history/actors/AIM-410.pdf https://www.cypherpunks.to/erights/history/actors/AIM-410.pd...
