Via Don Box, I see that Ruby 2.0 is dropping green threads and continuation support. Hmm - here's the pull quote from the place Don linked:

So what happened? Sometime around JavaOne we heard about the Ruby KaiGi in Japan, a Ruby conference or get-together of some sort. If RubyConf is the big conference for us Westerners, this at least provided a mid-year update for English-speaking Rubyists. Matz was there, Koichi was there, and I believe other Ruby dignitaries made the trip as well.

And then Matz and Koichi dropped the bomb: Ruby 2.0 would support neither continuations nor green threads.

I'm not so sure that's a good thing - it removes power from application developers, that's for sure. Anyone else have thoughts on that?
