Been there, helped design an entire embedded runtime based[1] around it, didn't mind it. FWIW Eventing systems are not the same as callback hell. "Tell me when this variable changes" is the heart of a lot of really well engineered systems, including high performance hardware IO. (Fill this buffer w/o bothering the CPU, when the buffer is full, call this function to process its contents). Eventing systems are nice. > The least painful approach to things like that. to my mind, is an explicit event loop, and posting events on a change. That is how Windows works under the covers. Events are just syntactic sugar on top if that, in replacement of a giant switch/case statement.
