liverpole,
Continuations, coroutines, callbacks, and closures - Oh my. Yes, it is very interesting how the state of the universe can be wrapped up in a neat little package. What is more interesting to me, is faster than light communication via quantum entanglement. I see articles every now and then about entanglement experiments but I am not holding my breath.

What would be nice is quantum entanglement for programming. I have often wanted "spooky action at a distance" when modifying a variable. Yes, I know tie can likely give me all that and a bag of chips but it doesn't feel quite as magical. It is more like lazy evaluation. 

my $blind_mice;
my $answer = $blind_mice * 14;
$blind_mice = 3;
print $answer; # 42 of course
