I always wondered what the big deal is myself, especially if you pack
away the magic stuff in modules somewhere..

After all, JPython can use all sorts of modules that Python can't..

Kawa (scheme for java) does continuations with exceptions...
They say you can't do co-routines with it, but that in java,
those should be done with threads:
