The Rhino javascript implementation has continuations. Chris Double once stuck it in Jetty, and I threw together a horrifying proof-of-concept Seaside-like continuation-based web programming library based on that: http://homepages.kcbbs.gen.nz/tonyg/lshift_archive/a-rhino-a...

As a proof-of-concept, it was fun, but that's as far as it went :-)

Rhino was a fun JS system. One of the continuation examples I did for a talk was migrating threads in Rhino: https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2006/06/11/migrating-javascript-th.... Start a thread on one machine, serialize the continuation and send it across the network and resume it on that machine.
