Why Continuations are Coming to Java
Summary
Ron Pressler's InfoQ transcript explains continuations, delimited continuations, and fibers in the JVM as a path to efficient concurrency. It contrasts monadic IO in functional languages with Java's blocking IO, introduces Loom's continuations, fibers and structure concurrency, and explores generators and schedulers. The piece is valuable for developers evaluating concurrency models and JVM-based async patterns.
