Well, I won't be so sure: having multiple cooperative thread (right now 
glob2 preempt threads if they use too much instruction per steps, and 
preemption is syncronous!) allow to specify one behaviour per thread, 
which is much cleaner, easier to understand and maintain that a big 
state machine. If you doubt, see how our big states machines in units 
and buildings are a mess and you'll get an idea of why we should avoid 
giant state machines whenever possible.
