Suppose I am the vice-president and ask you: "So?"

Then, what's next?

  Agreed.  In fact, these days I rarely even mention flow.  Instead, I would say a key elevator pitch is "callbacks, not field names".

    I try to avoid mentioning continuations at all (with the exception of
    a scientific talk).

    Continuations don't add any value to a presentation, make you look
    geeky and at best scare people off. Even developers don't need to know
    about that internal implementation detail. Only show how easy it is to
    define flow.

    The same for persistency. This is something commercial vendors worry about.
