It's an interesting approach. Your Then constructor maps to my Bind object more naturally than >>= does. The main reason for using objects rather than functions (closures) in C++ is that the compiler may be able to optimize/inline more code. Closures are not first class citizens in C++ -- they cannot be returned from functions or stored in variables without being converted to clunky std::function. BTW, I'm studying your reactive banana library trying to learn more about FRP. --Bartosz On Thursday, June 21, 2012 9:21:34 AM UTC-7, Heinrich Apfelmus wrote:

I published a blog for C++ programmers about the advantages of using the continuation monad in dealing with asynchronous API, concurrency, and parallelism. I explained the concepts in Haskell and the translated them into C++. http://fpcomplete.com/asynchronous-api-in-c-and-the-continuation-monad/
I always found the continuation monad to be hard to understand. An easier yet equivalent approach is presented in my "Operational Monad Tutorial" [1].
