I forgot to mention that parallelism is really important - you often  
need to have many things happening at the same time (mostly because  
you're not sure exactly what order a system will do several things  
in, and you don't want to deadlock by insisting on a particular  
order). This kind of flow between tasks or states, seems like a  
really good way of managing parallelism too. It's almost as if you're  
specifying a parallel state machine.
