<Berengal> One interesting aspect of callCC is that even though it's a time 
           traveller, you can't travel forward in time, because you don't 
           have a reference to it. You can however go *back* in time with a
           reference to the *current* time, give yourself that reference 
           and jump to the point you are now from the past, which is as 
           close as makes no difference
<hatds>    that didn't turn out so well in Back to the Future 2 if I 
           remember correctly
<Berengal> hatds: Ah, well, but my algorithm doesn't reach 88mph yet
<idnar>    haha

* Berengal bolts on boosters
* idnar installs callCC in a blue police box
* Berengal thinks the blue police box /is/ callCC

<idnar>    so the time vortex is just an infinite cascade of lambdas?
<Berengal> It's lambdas all the way down
