Abstract

Continuations for the Hotspot JVM — Lukas Stadler

Continuation support is part of the MLVM effort. They are a powerful concept that allows implementation of many advanced language features like coroutines, green threads, etc. This presentation covers the basic concepts of the lazy continuation mechanism and the details of the actual implementation in the JVM.
