Arc is common?
- drcode 18y ago:-) Well, compared to other languages with true continuations, like New Jersey SML.
- dfranke 18y agoFor that matter, Ruby and C both have continuation support.
- drcode 18y agoRuby has continuations, but with significant limitations. Ruby continuations cannot roll back modified variables, from what I understand- I think my email example would fail in a ruby implementation. As for C, I haven't seen any real continuation support- Just some partial simulations using longjmp.
