... Full continuations cannot be expressed by coroutines. All the rest is true.
I beg enlightenment from someone more familiar with these high-falutin' concepts. Would the following characterization be accurate? All these beasts (continuations, coroutines, generators) involve the idea of "resumable", but: A generator's state is wholly self-contained A coroutines's state is not necessarily self-contained but it is stable Continuations may have volatile state. Is this right, wrong, necessary, sufficient...?? goto-beginning-to-look-attractive-ly y'rs - Gordon
