Continuations stability

E

Ewout

Hi,

Does anyone here use continuations in "production" code? Can they be
considered stable enough in ruby? Has anyone had experience with
instable behaviour because of continuations, like memory
overconsumption?

Two web development frameworks in ruby that use continuations, Borges
and Wee, both have bumped against (minor) continuations instability.
For Wee, this was not reclaiming garbage memory in some rare cases. Has
anyone had similar experiences? Does anyone know if these issues were
resolved in later versions of the interpreter?

Continuations are a beautiful language feature and I'd like to base
some production code on it. Basically, I want to know if that is a good
idea, considering the current implementation.

Thanks,
Ewout
