"Understanding continuations are functions that don't return." I've never heard a clearer explanation of continuations!

I remember when I first read a similarly short explanation of Lisp. Suddenly it clicked. It was something like: "All code can be represented as an AST. S-expressions are just serialized ASTs." Only it was better. Lost the source.

PS: I love everyone's comments, keep them coming!
