You can resume a co-routine multiple times just like you can resume 
generators mutliple times, but that's something completely different 
from restarting a continuation multiple times.

When you mentioned continuations for web programming, I assumed you 
meant their ability to turn flow control inside out (allowing to write 
event-based networking code in a more natural way). Co-routines are a 
much nicer abstraction for that than continuations.
