Me not really.  But somehow...

Too true!

...somehow: we are working on a port of http://www.askemos.org to
chicken.  This is erlang-style concurrency/message passing (with strict
capability checking; http://cap-lore.com/CapTheory/index.html) in a
persistant Scheme environment.  Nodes can join and leave the network.
With process migration and even (redundant) replicaton.  That is: in
away, again.  We can not yet serialize arbitrary continuations.  But
state and code is replicated - so: you get your continuations on a
higher level again.

BTW: it works; I just saved th other message from into a maildir folder
mounted via fusedav and replicated in a Askemos network over 7 hosts.
Application code sample for the curious:
http://www.askemos.org/A2151b10e0542c89aa4792a21259905ff
A relational database for xml elements; tables defined in xsd.
Implemented using wt-tree's.
