I certainly do!
Fair enough.
I'm also curious how to write an interface to an existing event system. Being able to write it all in PASM is a bonus.
I don't think it can be all-PASM, except maybe (and maybe not...) with a separate thread for the existing event source. To do it in all pasm means calling back into parrot from interrupt level, which isn't really doable, or have a thread just waiting on events from the alternate event system to post into the parrot event queue.
Which, I suppose, is doable, though there are still those pesky interrupt-level limitations pontentially in there. We'll need to get shared-pool threads working better before we can really take a shot at it.
