Undoubtedly, Photon is a good piece of software, because the 
passing years have taught us a lot. Especially when you mentioned 
its nature, you said that Photon’s nature is dual. I sense that 
you have an interest in physics, and therefore in science, and I 
feel the names were not chosen by coincidence.

We (my colleagues and I) use loops in electronics as well. After 
all, isn’t life itself a loop? I’d like to benefit from Photon 
for microcontrollers too. Let me give an example: when branching 
from the main loop to a subroutine—which can even be another 
microcontroller on a separate PCB—you momentarily step away from 
other tasks, forced by me to do so. In a way, when one 
microcontroller sleeps, the other wakes up and practically takes 
over the operations. It strongly resembles a relay race. You also 
seem to be doing things similar to what we do in electronics. 
After all, threads are almost like independent circuits.

Wishing you success...
