Subject: Re: First-class continuations in Kawa

In-Reply-To: Your message of "Sat, 01 May 2021 21:45:59 +0300." <CAPh7weAfU3DGr09HzPBG34R0xi6xtKW2jWndNYa9b2cj++NVBg@mail.gmail.com>

Hopefully this isn't considered noise but I thought I'd add a brief note
as a Kawa user: It would be really great to have support for first-class
continuations.  I recall several instances when I wanted to use some
portable library (typically from snow-fort.org) and hit a roadblock due
to continuations.  And similarly with some SRFI sample implementations.

A question to the implementation-savvy: Would the only downside of
enabling first-class continuations (assuming they have been implemented
of course) be potentially lower performance?  Or would there be some
compatibility issues with other JVM languages and libraries?

For instance, would using some Java library such as okhttp pose any
issues other than a potential modest performance hit?

In any case, thanks to all involved in this effort.

Regards,

-chaw
