Kudos to Andy for providing a very nice foundation. It's always nice to see someone playing with continuations. Your example is very similar to one I did a while back https://gist.github.com/1381107. It would be if someone(nudge nudge) were to take the effort to make one of these experiments practical, since a guile web framework seems to be a common request. -- Ian Price "Programming is like pinball.
