[Borges-users] How does Borges handle the save and load of continuations?

[Robert Chen]

I am working on some ruby project, and I am looking to exploiting first 
class continuations in ruby to build a continuation-based server.  I search 
the web and find Borges, which is a ruby framework for constructing 
continuation-base servers.  This brings me to this mailing-list.

I here have a question on how to serialize and store ruby continuations.  
Seems ruby does not provide support for serializing continuations directly.  
I looked into the source code of Borges (the Session class), but still don't 
figure out how Borges serialize and stores a continuation on hard disk.  It 
occurs to me that Borges simply stores continuation in some memory cache.  
But as far as I understand, the memory state will be gone from one request 
to another.  Then how does a request grab a continuation saved by a previous 
request?

Please help me out with this question.  Thank you very much.
