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Please update this list as it becomes outdated!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

year 2004

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."

year 2010

year 2011

year 2012

year 2013

  • 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

  • 2019-08 What is a continuation? - Eric Normand
    "Continuations have to do with how functions are called and then returned."

year 2020

  • 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”."
  • 2020-09 Continuations - Ernesto Hernández-Novich
    "... a «continuation» is: some sort of snapshot of the current «interesting values» and immediate «next step»."

year 2021

  • 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."
