I've been using Guile for years now, but I've never used call/cc except
when I really tried to see if I could use it. I'm convinced that it's
not nearly as useful as most people seem to think. Sometimes I wonder
if the simple fact that call/cc is so difficult to implement efficiently
justifies its removal from Scheme.
call/cc to me is sort of like operator overloading in C++. It's neat, but
have you ever tried to understand code that used it extensively?
