That is kind of the point, continuation passing style quickly becomes
extremely complicated for non-trivial code flows. However, if my
coding examples are poorly organized or unnecessarily complicated, I'd
be glad to change them. Maybe it would help if you translated some
JS1.7 code (I assume you know how JS1.7 generators work), and I could
use that as a basis for my samples. How about:
function foo(){
var a = bar();
if(yield a)
yield hi();
bye();
}
Once again my primary intention is that JS1.7 generators provide the
type of continuations/coroutines support that we want, they just need
a more generalizable API, so they can be used for more than just
generators.
