Ah, now you say that. You can move the larger part of the state machine
into a timer ISR (and drop the delay() part). Then you can steer it from
your main code by setting flags. Atomic flags ;-)

You can do it in assembly too but C is easier to maintain imho. If there
is no stringent need to save space or speed go with C.
