I looked at https://www.embeddedrelated.com/showarticle/951.php and the
linked slideshare presentation.  I'm not that much of an OOP guy so I
may have missed some of the jargon.  But it looks like you're advocating
a traditional message-passing approach to concurrency, with some scheme
for wrapping a separate event loop for each task.  You might like the
Erlang OTP system which does something like that, with preemptive
scheduling and no shared data between tasks.  It may be inadequate for
low latency hard-real-time systems but works very well when there's a
little bit more timing slack available (millisecond-level soft RT).
