Smalltalk and it’s Seaside server were really something in the early days. Basically broke out of the response/request model by doing your interactions with saved continuations. So if your server function requests a text to be entered, it would be “frozen” there and once the date makes it’s way back, it’ll pick up right there. Obviously that takes some RAM, and coupled with the unusual language, that made it a rare beast. Of course, later we’d escape this interaction model in much worse and wasteful ways, but now it’s the client paying for the RAM.
