I've read his treatment of state machines, and they seemed like simplified co-routines. Or are you just referring to his macro techniques in aid of your own ideas about state machines?
Yes to both. His techniques showed me a better idea on how I wanted to implement my (more complex, hierarchical) state machines. And, I implement reactive systems as a bunch of communicating state machines that fire one-way events at each other. As you point out, this devolves into a "stackless" (in fact 1 stack (per core)) set of coroutines.
