#2Long before AI psychosis, there was FP psychosis, clinically defined as the intense psychological response to understanding functional programming concepts like recursion, higher order functions, monads, or in this case, continuation passing style.

CPS was also the OG "AI psychosis" when it appeared in Sussman and Steele's AI Memo #349: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Scheme:_An_Interpreter_for_Ex...

#4CPS is a way of embedding imperative computation into an FP language. I think they built a mini compiler for their binary relation language, which is then Jitted by Julia.

Continuations predate transducers by some ~40 years and are mostly used as a means of control flow, but yes they are very similar.
Transducers are specialized to data transformation pipelines, continuations are a form of control flow from which you can derive a lot of cool things (exceptions, time travel debugging etc).

At least FP psychosis leaves you more educated and with more tools in your box.
Not sure what the AI one gives you at a personal level.

Worth noting that’s a quote from the article (footnote 1).

As a happy sufferer from FP psychosis, I can tell you that LLMs can be a fantastic tool for learning if you choose to use them that way.

I'd rather compare CPS to goto than regular imperative computation.
