If you choose the coroutine style of programming, you wouldn't normally use callbacks. Instead, you would "yield from" any blocking event. There are coroutine equivalents for locking, network I/O, multiplexing etc. The callback style encodes the state in a variable. The coroutine style (which closely resembles multithreading), encodes the state in the code itself. Both styles can easily become really messy (because reality is surprisingly messy).
