Gregory's ServerI've been reading Finkel's book and in Chapter 2, on Control structures(the part about Continuations) to demonstrate, it uses a language called Io, where instead of returning, procedures just invoke their continuations. I've never seen something like this before, and it's really hard to find anything about that language. Is there any sort of implementation of this left anywhere?

@neauoire scheme has call-with-current-continuation which i recently understood as a way to have an "early return" like one might in a python function iiuc invoking the continuation instead of returning is how schemes (or maybe just chicken scheme?) is implemented https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-with-current-continuation  @cwebber I don't remember seeing a mention of Io in the lambda papers, do you remember which one had anything about first-class continuations?

@opfez ah yes, I saw. The paper khm linked talks about Io tho, which is what I was looking for. I'm familiar with CSP tho :) |
