[erlang-questions] Is there a way to serialise a running process & resume it later (i.e. continuations)

web continuations are stored server-side vs. a form hack with a hidden
field most likely does not incur anything stored server-side.

continuations let you come back later even though the client browser
has forgotten everything, because the continuation is in the server.
of course then you need some gcing of old continuations. (it is all
pretty much diametrically opposite to the REST approach to things.)
