May I ask a heretical question (especially from me): How many of you use call/cc and continuation objects (rather than mimicing continuations with lambda's) in large programs? Do "we" really use it to implement coroutines and backtracking and threads and whatever? Is call/cc necessary for Scheme? [Don't shoot. I wrote many papers on all aspects of call/cc but now that we're building large systems we should revisit these questions. I'd love to be wrong here.] -- Matthias
