The equivalent in Oort produces: localhost:~/oort/examples% ../oort callcc2.nl 2 1 as expected since Oort uses heap allocated activation records. The Oort program: typedef continuation_t = fn (p: int32

Does copying the stack really work? What if some local variable changes in between the call/cc and calling the continuation? If the stack is a copy, that change will not be reflected when the continuation runs.

If you generalize labels so that they become first class, then call/cc can be written in terms of goto. http://ssp.impulsetrain.com/goto.html

That would be my take anyway. A big issue with Java is that it required installing a huge standard library - that should just be downloaded as required. And flash was never really intended for applications; it was always about "rich content

A camera might produce a pixel by computing the average light input over a square, and in that sense you could consider the pixel itself a square. But in signal processing you interpret it as a two step procedure: First, for every mathemati

I suspect there is some incoherent thinking about the BSD license. If you are a BSD advocate, consider this: Someone takes a BSD project and bases a proprietary program on it. Is that person doing something wrong? Well, no, you say, because

Very good comment, though broadcast and video are much harsher environments for graphics than a computer monitor. The resolution is lower as you point out, especially chroma resolution, and there may be interlacing and/or compression going
