Serendipity

I've been looking a lot at continuations in recent posts. Along came this post on Jetty 6 continuations and the serendipity is enough to make me shiver. Are continuations finally making it into the mainstream?

I had the opportunity recently to talk with someone new to continuations about their clever usefulness. This Jetty 6 article is just the sort of example I wish I had had in my back pocket for that chat.

UPDATE: An interesting observation about Jetty's use of threads and continuations.
