WG1 - Core

description

Ray Dillinger writes:

  Oleg Kiselyov has published some very interesting papers about `call/cc` that outline reasons why it is intractable as an abstraction and call its utility into question.  WG1's charter more-or-less forbade responding to that in any way.

Andy Wingo writes:

  There are also a number of minor points about the WG1 draft that I feel were not dealt with in a satisfactory way.  A few things come to mind: [...] the inability of WG1 to deal with the suggestion of removing `call/cc` in favor of delimited continuations [...].

Moritz Heidkamp also regretted the absence of delimited conditions, though he did not suggest that `call/cc` be removed.
