Re: Tomcat or PHP in ST ?

The issue is mainly that it uses dialect-specific code
(thisContext...), not the semantics it uses.

There are going to be some limits to continuation support in
strongtalk simply because strongtalk supports callbacks, and thus you
can get volatile frames on the stack. Expecting that you can blindly
serialize anything in a system that interacts with the external world
doesn't sound like a good idea.
