Hi, it's been a while.
See http://billhails.net/Book
After almost a year of letting this lie fallow I started working on the book again a few months ago. The result is three new chapters, all pretty much following on from the chapter on continuations:
  1. Built-in error handling and recovery
  2. Non-deterministic programming and backtracking
  3. Logic Programming
These chapters follow in the tradition of the others by demonstrating complete implementations of the topics under discussion. It's still just a hobby project, I'm not even sure yet what the next chapter will cover, maybe static type checking or maybe compilation. Enjoy.
