The best analogy I can give is to JavaScript promises, where you can do something once the future is resolved. In Java, this would be like the CompletableFuture class's thenApply function -- where you can write code that picks up once the future has been resolved. A "delimited continuation" is that basic idea of having your code pick up once a future finishes executing.
