Applications of Continuations
Cedric wants to know about applications of continuations:
Fortunately, there's a paper with that title by Daniel Friedman at the U of Indiana.
The PLT Scheme guys wrote the original paper on using continuations to simplify web applications. This has since been implemented in Cocoon via a continuation enhanced Javascript (Rhino).
The
UI Continuations in Haystack seem to be based on a similar idea, although until they drop their code we won't know if they actually used continuations to do this.
Other applications that I've seen for continuations is simplifying backtracking kinds of applications like pattern matching, search, or unification.
