Continuations are not available in JS and Flash. And since they are not available in Neko either, haXe has no support for them. > 4. if so, is it possible to serialize them and restore them? I know its > tricky.. Neko is already capable of serializing closures, and they can be unserialized as long as the bytecode doesn't get changed. If you manage to encode your architecture using closures instead of continuations (that is, without using the VM stack as a state), then you could use haXe/Neko without a problem. One other possibility is to use Neko Threads for synchronization between tasks. One thread waits for messages and worker threads sleep until the task is resolved before notifying the main thread. Look at the neko.vm.Thread haXe API. Best, Nicolas -- Neko : One VM to run them all (http://nekovm.org)
