Exactly.
Seaside is still useful, even if the underlying plattform doesn't
support continuations, and #call: and #answer:. You can always
transform
A.
r := self call: aComponent.
B.
into
A.
self show: aComponent onAnswer: [ :r | B ].
that does the same without continuations. It is ugly, but it works.
This is called Continuation Passing Style. Of course traditional
#call: and #answer: will be supported on all platforms that support
continuations.
Cheers,
Lukas
