Classic programs (to read)
Jarno has a wonderful suggestion that we collect a list of good programs for people to study. I really like this idea. Unfortunately, I couldn't actually think of any programs for the list.

Applications of Continuations
Cedric wants to know about applications of continuations:

CPS for Perl
Dan Sugalski gives a nice tutorial on continuations and continuation passing style (CPS). Then he ends with this:
Still, in a register rich system CPS is definitely pretty darned cool I'll admit, after this, I'm almost tempted to shift Parrot over to a full CPS system. Almost....
