A continuation is an abstract representation of the ''control state'' of a program. The continuation reifies the program control state, into a data structure that represents the computational process at a given point in the process' execution. The data structure can be manipulated from the programming language the program was written it, instead of being hidden in the runtime environment.

A continuation is an abstract representation of the control state of a program. The continuation reifies the program control state, into a data structure that represents the computational process at a given point in the process' execution. The data structure can be manipulated from the programming language the program was written it, instead of being hidden in the runtime environment.
