Continuation

programming technique in Dynamic Language-s - use for WebApp?

A "continuation" is a program flow control construct most commonly associated with constructs like Generator-s, Closure-s, and Co Routine-s. Specifically, a continuation is the capturing of the current context of execution or "place in the code" (stack or stack-frame, lexical scope, and position within the function or method) so that one can return to that location in the code and resume execution from that point forward.
