I expected that code to print "hello everyone!" forever but apparently the top level acts as a delimiter. This is why I think delimited continuations make more sense since even call/cc is already "delimited" but with no concept for it. A version that would print forever: (let ((_ (display ...))) (saved-continuation "everyone"))

Exactly! The top-level is actually special in many circumstances. Some people have suggested removing call/cc from Scheme. I don't know if they want to put delimited continuations in its stead.
