The point that I was trying to make is that a well designed concurrent program is often easier to reason about than an event driven program. Even if it didn't have benefits scaling to multiple processors and hiding latency, concurrent programming would have advantages in clearly structuring programs. A great talk about the advantages of concurrent programming in producing clear and understandable program structure can be seen in Rob Pike's newsqueak tech talk (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=810232012617965344 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=810232012617965344)
