I wonder whether this can be done in Haskell (see muleherd's comment):

WASH did/does something similar. You can certainly write applications in a similar, workflow-ish style (rather than like a state machine).

To hijack the subject, what happened to WASH? The paper seemed like it was full of interesting ideas, but the implementation seems to have failed to capture many hearts. Now it seems like a stagnant project. What were the fatal flaws? [ paris ]

I'm interested in the possibility of stopping/pickling/unpickling/resuming a computation.

From what I recall, WASH stores the continuation in the URL, at least if you turn on that setting...
