Yes they are. Purely intuitively, you can see how writing code in a monadic style (using >>= a lot) is very similar to writing in continuation-passing style. You can express this the most directly with the continuation monad. Then, from this monad, you can express other monads. In some sense, the continuation monad is very fundamental. Take a look at "The Mother of all Monads"[1] from The Neighborhood of Infinity for more details.

Q: Are the "continuations" in Scheme related to the "monads" from Haskell? If so, could someone elaborate on that?
