Event based systems are old, as old at least as message based/passing
systems. Them old fogey host guys (Hi Jon! <kof>) were doing message
passing systems back when S/390 and S/360 where the freshest and newest
things since sliced bread, and long before anyone even thought about
objects.
X is a pretty good and familar example: Its massively non-OO, and almost
entirely event based (there were non-event hangovers as of X11r3 which was
the last time I got to study the X guts. X11r6 is hopefully cleaner if
not moderately pristine as an event system).
Emacs is also a pretty decent event based system if you squint and look at
it just right/wrong (I loathe Emacs).
