I'll go see if I can find the topic where I learned what continuations were.

Hi, welcome to the forum! I've taken the liberty of moving your question to the Computer Science topic because you're really asking about the history of programming language design, more than about specifically. I'm going to tell you probably more than you want to know; feel free to pick the juicy parts to read.

@bloct

I'll use run and run with continuation since those might be easier to understand than call with continuation.

Short for "with continuation".

[warped_wart_wars]

Yes. But I think she was asking what a continuation was. That can be found in the first of my quotes.
