[buug] features [Was: Smalltalk Event Downtown, Sunday 9 April]

Yea, we certainly have continuations. There’s an application web server based on them called Seaside.

Come out to the event, I’ll show it to you. And how it’s influenced the project I’m working on. 
If you cannot make it, there’s information here on how Seaside works.

what would open source be without divided opinions and plans for alternatives? 
Definitely worth looking at, though.
