Subject: Re: [Seaside] the elevator pitch for seaside

Agreed.  In fact, these days I rarely even mention flow.  Instead, I would say a key elevator pitch is "callbacks, not field names".

Continuations don't add any value to a presentation, make you look

define flow.

The same for persistency. This is something commercial vendors worry about.
