> The JavaScript model of "call some callback when the currently-executing function returns" doesn't work, because C is not event-based.

This is misleading. Whether or not a C program is event-based is not defined by the language; the language itself has the necessary features. On the flip side, Javascript is not necessarily confined to event-based operation - this is dependent on the engine it's running in.
