Quiet a few, e.g. Python. It provides a standard event-loop API
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html> which is pluggable with
alternative event loops. For example, every GUI already has its own event
loop: simply give that an asyncio-compatible wrapper, and you have the
concept of “event-loop-agnostic” code, which can run on any asyncio-
compatible event loop.

this call queue is somewhat different thing and its better imo - its
more like lov level and its better integrated.

You can build all that on top of an event loop. The nice thing about a
generalized event loop is that the result can coexist with other async
code.

i know python only slightly but you can write if you say how it looks in ppython - liek pice of code or something, if you want
i also know a event queue how it looks in winapi - and that would be all what i know about event queues - but this is osmething different thing then what i say here
(in fact i say about two things one is this "temporary call queue"
who waorks a bit like stack (in two versions, one thread, and parrallel) and thsi "permanent queue" which may be used liek host
for agents/agent systems
in winapi in fact  the queue works differently aa you only "add" one pointer: WndProc  and yet your app has this loop GetMessage/DispatchMessage as far as i remember ..so this is like something more complex ..in fact i dont know if this paradigm would not be cleaner if there would be no this busy loop but just a registration
of events but i would need to think on this
i like agent paradigm a lot...also the idea of such queues show to ba good (as there is hope as i said to allow doint multithreading in real clean/neat way) but i dont know how it realy fits together on low lewel
programming is in a big aextent amtter of composition, when you got good
composition you hav it all clean and nice not a mess where you can dwell/stick into like is some way probably some codes today are still into that swamp at least partially
