Hi all,
I thought that since we are all continuation junkies here, we might
find this interesting:
http://okmij.org/ftp/continuations/against-callcc.html
The article argues that call/cc is a bad core feature for a language
(if you are designing a language), and claims that it is even worse
that goto.
In any case, it is an interesting read.
Yours,
Trevor
