I would have to agree. I'd been hoping Walter would see the thread on
true closures and see the tie-in with continuations.
Good stuff here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation
I see gracefully handling the "back" button and maintaining appropriate
state in web-based applications as a big use of continuations in the
future, so I'm hoping Walter can help and/or Pragma can hack something
for DSP. There's a ton of applications for appropriately representing
data along a workflow with continuations.
So, the closures / first-class functions discussions interest me very
much, and continuations is a prime example of uses for those features in
the language.
