Quiet a few, e.g. Python. It provides a standard event-loop API
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html> which is pluggable with 
alternative event loops. For example, every GUI already has its own event 
loop: simply give that an asyncio-compatible wrapper, and you have the 
concept of “event-loop-agnostic” code, which can run on any asyncio-
compatible event loop.

You can build all that on top of an event loop. The nice thing about a 
generalized event loop is that the result can coexist with other async 
code.
