Re: [Chicken-users] google summer of code

  Well, users of monadic programming languages would say that
continuations are monads in disguise :-) And yes, monads are "just"
statically typed continuations in a side-effect free environment, but
my point was that implementing them in Chicken would be non-trivial,
unless you had an elegant way to specify operational semantics.
