Hi Don, no I can't, I have no clue how to do that. :) There is Olegs ZFS and he has written all his code without any use of forkIO, so I know it's possible, I just haven't been able to translate it to my problem. Günther Am 27.07.2009, 19:10 Uhr, schrieb Don Stewart :

Hi,

I'd like to retire forkIO and friends by using Delimited Continuations instead. Am I dead wrong here in my understanding of Delimited Continuations or can I pursue in this direction?

The most immediate use for this is actully GUI problems where I'd use del-conts in place of forkIO for long-running computations because once I forkIO the computation so as not to block the UI thread I cannot call GUI code from the end of that thread. Well I can but then the app crashes because of single threading issues.

Can you provide some examples of how you'd rewrite forkIO code to use del-conts?
