Hello, All!
in the book "Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation" by
Shriram Krishnamurthi
usage of continuations for web-programs is described.
i found them very nice. but continuations are supported by Scheme language,
not by Common Lisp, do i have to move to Scheme only to get continuations
working??
i believe they can be somehow added into Common Lisp. that book describes
code transformations required to implement continuations if they are not
supported by language. but doing that from scratch is an overkill, isn't
there some lib that just works and adds continuations into Common Lisp? i
don't need 100% compatible implementation, it should just work in some
situations..
With best regards, Alex 'killer_storm' Mizrahi.
