I think that you can solve the mess of recursion with generators. Can you provide an example where recursion gets messy? I'll try to rewrite it with generators to explain...

I just played around with it for a good long while and I agree that this example resists most methods of simplification and that as far as I can tell,...

I've been working on a language that allows you to hand-optimize blocks of code, with a theorem solver to guarantee correctness of the optimization, for years. It's a really complex...

I'm a big fan of the actor model. Just as an aside. Anyway, I think CPS with tail optimization basically gives you the best possibilities, combined with syntax that compiles...

I'm not sure if I agree with syntax, but yeah, first class actors would be extremely interesting to have. I think actors also combine very elegantly with generators and iterators...
