AFRP uses continuations under the hood, so you can view webwire as
continuation-based to some extent.  But out of interest, why are you
wary?  This is highly experimental work, and I see some problems coming:

  * Lower performance, though that can be fixed.  Right now I'm getting
    up to about 8000 requests per second using apachebench with -n 10000
    and -c 1000, which is probably not enough for high volume sites.

  * Sessions are a runtime-only phenomenon.  This is a more serious
    problem, for which I don't currently have a general solution, though
    for most applications specialized solutions can be written.

  * FRP and netwire in particular have a steep learning curve.

If you see any further potential problems, I'd be very grateful, if
you'd let me know.


Greets,
