Anyways, most of my uses of the Cont monad have been for my own personal entertainment, and usually I break the abstraction (using Control.Monad.Cont) to do the things I want. I don't know if I've ever written something that's used callCC that I kept.

except for entertainment purposes i feel pretty much the same way :-) i think that in probably 95% of the cases that arise there is a simpler monad that does the job (i.e. exceptions, backtracking, etc). of course it could be that we are simply not used to program using the callcc. bye iavor -- ================================================== | Iavor S.
