We don't know anything about the hardware or software setup of this
system, or even whether it has been firmly selected yet.  The CAN bus is
well supported by many OS's to the point where the application sees just
another network or serial-like interface.  It can handle that with an
event loop or with threads/coroutines, and communicate with the UI
through events or messages.  Anything having to do with interrupt
handlers is long since taken care of by the OS, if a reasonable OS is in
use.  Why re-develop all that from scratch?
