However, not all programming languages are equal in their ability to write event-driven code. Usually, the more low-level the programming language, the most difficult it is to write event-driven code in it. The term low-level is used here to describe the functionalities supported by the programming languages, not the fact that it is designed for system programming rather than applicative programming. A language with no support for closures, anonymous functions, and generators will lead to event-driven code that's hard to write, read, and maintain.
