Factor has continuations so it would be possible to implement a continuation based web server using it. The following Scheme: (define test #f) (define (do-test)   (call/cc (lambda (x) (set! test x)))   (display "here") (newline)) (do-test) => "here" (test #f) => "here" (test #f) => "here" Can be done in Factor with: : do-test [ "test" swap put ] callcc0 "here" print ; do-test => "here" "test" get call => "here" "test" get call => "here" An email from Slava describes the continuations support. 3:35:03 PM
