Yes, these are true too. But Python 2.x has continuations (somewhat hidden, but they're there, aka a non-LIFO control regime. No other language in non-research use has that except Scheme. Java, as befits a C-heritage language, doesn't even have closures (well, inner classes are closures, I guess), much less continuations. Pascal has closures but not continuations. -- John Cowan <jcowan@r...> http://www.reutershealth.com http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Yakka foob mog. Grug pubbawup zink wattoom gazork.
