Re: Functional Fall tomorrow

["Kyle R. Burton" <kyle.burton@gmail.com>]

I took the liberty of writing a few examples in ruby (since it has
continuations) that I could walk through during the discussion if
people are interested:

  https://github.com/kyleburton/sandbox/tree/master/examples/ruby/continuations

I try to show a 'normal' linear program, then one that's run by a
controller (inversion of control), and finally one with a very small
framework using continuations that allow the program to 're-invert'
the IOC and look linear again.  The fun thing is with that example you
can 'go back' w/o breaking the linearity of the code.  Hopefully I can
explain it better in person.
