I have a few questions about the implementation:

Would it be correct to include an endless loop in the Main() function
and execute specific functions only when called from the main process?
Can these functions have a return value? Would the executions of this
functions be deferred (with an event raised when they return a value)
or be blocking?

What would happen if the main process is ended and a task has not yet
finished it's work? Can en event been raised (with a hard coded
timeout to end the execution the event if it takes to long)?

Does the interpreter take advantage of multi(core/processors) systems?
