Abstract: To introduce the republication of his joint 1974
paper with Christopher Strachey, "Continuations: A Mathematical
Semantics for Handling Full Jumps", the author recalls earlier
unsuccessful struggles which culminated eventually in the almost
instantaneous insight for their discovery of continuations in 1970.
Keywords: continuations, denotational semantics, mathematical semantics, jumps, escape exits |
