Abstract:	We show that lambda abstractions can be transformed into continuations with several interesting characteristics: • • Continuations could serve as the basis of a Scheme-like language, called Scheme-λ1. • • The transformation is analogous to the continuation-passing style transformation. • • Several programming-language concepts emerge as results of the transformation. • • Everything that can be represented as a lambda abstraction can now be represented as a continuation. • • The transformation is simple and sound. Our work would not be complete if the macro facility were not taken into account. Thus, we show how to embed Scheme-λ1 in Scheme so as to accommodate the macro facility.
