Issue #10548 has been updated by Yusuke Endoh. That's a bummer! Callcc is the most exciting toy for the functional programmers. If Ruby had no callcc, I couldn't have been interested in Ruby. No one think it production ready. When callcc is used, the user is (or should be) not serious but mischievous. You don't have to pay any cost for its consistency. SEGV is welcome when used in combination with another feature. Instead of making it obsoleted, how about printing a big warning banner when "contination" is required? rb_warn("****************************************"); rb_warn("** WARNING!! callcc is a JOKE feature **"); rb_warn("** Are you ready to see nasal demons? **"); rb_warn("****************************************"); I wish you'd reconsider. -- Yusuke Endoh ---------------------------------------- Feature #10548: remove callcc (Callcc is now going obsoleted.
