Continuations are available in Ruby 1.9 after requiring a standard
library.

They’re not gone in 1.9, just in their own module (continuation.rb).
Depending on what you mean by infinite streams (do you mean like an
infinite list of integers, or something else?), I’m sure a generator
would work.

A generator may also yield (no pun intended) better performance than
a generalized implicit continuation.

oh yeah! awesome.

yeah, it’s a list of numbers, one ints one floats iirc, but if if I can
just

require ‘continuations’

then boom, I’m good.
