The original idea of using continuations was told to me by a friend of mine, Florin Mihaila, who read about it in a paper by Christian Queinnec (http://youpou.lip6.fr/queinnec/WWW/Queinnec.html).
Christopher Oliver was very instrumental in implementing continuations in Rhino. Without his excellent work, patience and attention to detail, the flow would most likely be written in pure Scheme, e.g. nobody would have used it :() Few can understand the importance of the changes he has done in Rhino and their impact on the current design of the Cocoon control flow engine. Many thanks, Chris!
Many other people contributed to the flow engine that we have now. Michael Melhem contributed an excellent patch to expire old continuations. Christian Haul added support for actions in the flow. Marcus Crafter, Michael and Reinhard Pötz were very early adopters of the idea and contributed with lots of ideas and bug fixes. Stefano and other developers provided a lot of moral support during the days of this project. Incredibly, it started so long ago, in December 2001!
