The link (http://www.phubuh.org/Media/Writing/Continuations/) seems to be broken. Wouldn’t you have a copy of the document you could point me to?

in rubyland, the CoolContinuationFramework hat has been passed on from borges to Wee (see http://ntecs.de/blog?cat=Web).
Wee has nice database integration with th Og orm, it can work without callcc, has a framework to automatically build web interfaces to data, and it comes with videos :D

… and now for constructive commentary. There’s one think I dislike about the continuations-style. You typically always have to use one main ‘while’ loop that is executed until all steps are done if you’re creating a wizard and need to support back/forth navigation. I think that for these kind of functionalities, a higher level abstraction is more convenient (ie. a wizard feature that allows the individual implementation of each step and handles their navigation for you).

We have a presentation about how web continuations make web application development easier at java.net’s RIFE website: https://rife.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=757

It might help out people to understand it better too.
