: Non-termination presents a problem for continuations and threads also; they don't solve the issue at all of when a branch of the computation fails by not terminating! Processing is stuck there, that is all. Exception handling isn't in an of itself a solution; rather, nonlocal control transfers can support an explicit backtracking solution by providing a convenient direct branch to some earlier "top level" in cases when failure or success are confirmed.
For my part, and demonstrated by my VBScript entry, I don't think I understood the task at all. I don't think many did. Even after reading all this, I'm still not sure I do. I did have fun, all the same, coming up with the VBScript code. --[[User:Axtens|Axtens]] 08:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
