<div><div>One of the biggest problems of CPS code in Twisted or Node or most other frameworks using that mechanism, is that it ends up with single-threaded servers, making poor use of multi-threaded hardware.</div>In Erlang, a process is comparable to the cost as a continuation with a function lambda in other languages (give or take a little bit, depending on specifics of implementation and use).</div>
<div>Write your code serially, in a process, and talk to it using messaging. It's easier to write, debug, and understand that way. Because of data being immutable, there is no risk of threading data hazards.</div><div>
