I have been learning about continuation passing style lately and I'm trying to think of ways to capture the process in blog form that could serve as a stepping stone for other novices. currently mulling over the idea of a "baby's first cps" blog post that walks through compiling some tiny simple language (like maybe a 4-function calculator language) to cps and interpreting the result. the point would be to show how to linearize a very simple expression tree that you can easily implement for yourself in a safe place far away from the gnarliness of real world compilers and then point towards resources for leveling up.
