Description: unrepresentative examples, unjustified assumptions, key omissions and faulty logic
With apologies to sigfpe
I remember the first time I heard about continuations.
I was learning to write programs in Scheme at the time and kept seeing references to something called “continuation passing style”. I didn’t understand most of what I read then but continuations were especially confusing; somehow they represent “the rest of the program” in a way that can be used to implement interesting control structures. After a halfhearted attempt to understand how they work I set them aside, since there was and is no shortage of other interesting things to learn about.
