I have serious doubts about using continuation passing style in
general.

Compared to that, the computed goto of fortran is nothing
serious.

Programs written using that feature are (by definition) unreadable.
You never know where the program will continue since continuations
are just variables that can be passed around. It is incredibly difficult
to follow such a program by reading the source text.
