Thanks for the reply. My comment was in reference to the Visual Basic Calculator program described here: (perhaps "VBScript" was not accurate)

https://barrgroup.com/Embedded-Systems/How-To/State-Machines...

That VB calculator is shown as an example of "The Problem" with event driven programming, but I just see it as an example of why poorly designed programs are hard to reason about and buggy.

I did not see the coffeescript / Python calculator.

I thought you were referring to my live demo: https://bitwrap.github.io/#octothorpe
