Er... what? Are you perhaps confusing the Torah (Jewish scripture) with the Koran (Islamic scripture)?

Wait. You're asking whether the commenters deserve to lose their reputations over.... participating in a baseless attack on someone else's reputation?

Why yes. Yes they do.

Thanks very much! For both the welcome and the compliments. :)

Sadly, I do not have a backup of the presentation movie; hopefully Bill Clementson has one.

Neil Mix implements similar transformations in Javascript in Narrative JS: http://www.neilmix.com/narrativejs/doc/. However, as I recall it aims more to provide some of the main benefits of continuations rather than a complete implementation of continuations on top of Javascript, which is more where I was trying to go with jwacs.

Jwacs introduces very little new syntax to Javascript; I'm curious to hear which bits you find jarring, and what you would have preferred to see.
