I'm reading about the IO language, which reflects the hope that a usable
programming language can result from only a single control structure: a GOTO
with parameters. The parameters passed to procedures are not restricted to
simple values, they may be also CONTINUATIONS, which represent the remainder
of the computation to be performed after the called procedure is finished
with its other work. IO manages to build sophisticated facilities on such a
simple foundation.
Eventhough not a C/C++ expert, I still prefer these languages as opposed to
experimental ones like IO, and I was wondering if we still can implement
CONTINUATIONS in C/C++...I appreciate your time in trying to answering my
question/comment.
