> For continuations to work in a systems programming language, you can probably only allow one-shot delimited continuations. It’s unclear to me as to how one-shot continuations can be integrated into a systems language where you want to ensure careful control over lifetimes. Perhaps you (or someone else here) knows of some research integrating ownership/borrowing with continuations/algebraic effects that I’m unfamiliar with?
> The closest exception to this that I know of is Haskell, which has support for both linear types and a primitive for continuations. However, I haven’t seen anyone integrate the two, and I’ve definitely seen some soundness-related issues in various effect systems libraries in Haskell (which doesn’t inspire confidence), but it’s also possible I missed some developments there as I haven’t written much Haskell in a while.
