It has a few ideas, such as everything being asynchronous and completely removing the prompt, that may prove useful for improving Babel generally.  The blub implementation is also simpler than related parts of Babel and may be useful for figuring out ways to solve the currently known shortcomings.  If you run into an error during execution, you will need to call (setq my-org-babel-comint--async-uuid nil).

You "just" [1] need a way of stating dependencies :-)

Cheers

[1] In quotes, because this opens a vast space of interesting
   and strange worlds. The functional folks have their monads,
   the compiler backend builders have their dependency graphs.
   Definitely doable, but treading with care will be helpful
   to not step into a mess :-)
