This is a comprehensive timeline of continuation tutorials and related articles.
Please update this list as it becomes outdated! If you find a tutorial, article, post, comment, or message that stands on its own as an explanation of continuations, then please take a moment to paste the link somewhere on this page (register a throwaway account, if you prefer). The date, author, and blurb can be added later. This will greatly help others who are using this list as a resource for learning about continuations.
year 2002
- 2002-09 - CS590S: Lecture Notes 4 - Continuation-Passing Style
- "Continuation-passing style or CPS is a technique for implementing functional programs in which procedures are written so that they receive procedural arguments representing their future behavior"
year 2004
- 2004-12 CSE 341: Scheme: Continuations and exceptions
- "An expression's continuation is "the computation that will receive the result of that expression"."
year 2009
- 2009-06 F#: Continuation Passing Style - Mark Needham
- "As I understand it we can achieve a continuation passing style of programming by passing in the bit of code that we went executed next (i.e. the continuation) as an argument to a function."
- 2009-12 Continuations by example: Exceptions, time-traveling search, generators, threads, and coroutines - Matt Might
- "Concretely, a continuation is a procedure that represents the remaining steps in a computation."
- 2009-12 Continuations Made Simple and Illustrated - Denys Duchier
year 2010
- 2010-03 Computer Science 152 - References; Continuation passing style
- "Intuitively, a continuation represents “the rest of the program.”"
- 2010-11 - By example: Continuation-passing style in JavaScript - Matt Might
year 2011
- 2011-06 2.9. Continuations and Continuation Passing
- "A continuation is a callback function k that represents the current state of the program’s execution."
year 2012
- 2012-06 Asynchronous programming and continuation-passing style in JavaScript - Axel Rauschmayer
year 2013
- 2013-07 The Racket Guide: 10.3 Continuations
- "A continuation is a value that encapsulates a piece of an expression’s evaluation context."
- 2013-05 School of Haskell: Understanding Continuations
- "In essence, a continuation is a function which represents the next block of code to be executed."
- 2013-09 CS421: MP 4 – Continuation-Passing Style
- "A function that is written in continuation- passing style does not return once it has finished computing. Instead, it calls another function (the continuation) with the result of the computation."
year 2014
- 2014-05 Why Are Continuations So Darn Cool? - Daniel Martins
- "A continuation can be viewed as the evaluation context surrounding an expression or, in other words, a snapshot of the current control state of the program."
year 2018
- 2018-12 Removing a recursion in Python, part 2 - Eric Lippert
- "The “continuation” in “continuation passing style” just means “what happens after”; the code that happens after a bit of code is the continuation of that code in your program."
year 2019
- 2019-06 Continuation Passing Style in Scheme
- "The continuation k contains the code that will be executed after (+ x y) is calculated."
- 2019-08 What is a continuation? - Eric Normand
- "Continuations have to do with how functions are called and then returned."
year 2020
- 2020-01 A Gentle Run-through of Continuation Passing Style and Its Use Cases - Ziyang Liu
- "In CPS, instead of returning some value, the function would take a continuation function, which represents what the caller would do with the returned value"
- 2020-03 Continuations - Michael Erdmann
- "What is a continuation? A function, used as a parameter by another function, and typically used to abstract away from “the rest of the computation”, or “what to do to finish a task”."
- 2020-05 Understanding Recursion and Continuation with Python - Nick Mose
- "A continuation is an abstract representation of the control state of a program."
- 2020-09 Lecture #19: Continuations
- "Intuitively, a continuation represents “the rest of the program.”"
- 2020-09 Continuations - Ernesto Hernández-Novich
- "... a «continuation» is: some sort of snapshot of the current «interesting values» and immediate «next step»."
year 2021
- 2021-01 ontinuations FAQ (epoq diary 013) - Carl Mäsak
- "The continuation represents a running program at some point during its run."
- 2021-03 Continuations in Scala
- "The main idea of continuations ... is the ability to interrupt a program, save its control state, and resume it at a later point in time."
