Where to start? Oh, where to start? Every sentence begins half-right and then ends up all-wrong. (Even the premise of this flame is wrong. Continuations are not solely about managing client-side state.)
I guess it's up to Jay to post the brilliant follow-up that will...well, who knows what will happen when someone this confused reads it. I wonder if he's read the structure of JavaScript programs, which -- because of the cooperative multi-tasking structure of JavaScript -- have to return control to the event loop (ie, "terminate") whenever they make an Ajax request, leaving *another procedure* to pick up the response if and when it arrives. What a nifty pattern -- I really wish it had a name! Oh wait, I guess these days it's called "Ajax" -- which makes it all good.
