As the article acknowledges at the end, this is sort of like protothreads which has been around for ages. The article's CSS was so awful that I didn't read anything except the last paragraph, which seemed to tell me what I wanted to know.

Right, this is more or less this blog author’s riff on (PuTTY author) Simon Tatham’s old page on coroutines using switch[1], which itself indicates that Tom Duff thought of this (which makes sense, it’s only a half-step away from Duff’s device) and described it as “revolting”. So in this sense the idea predates the standardization of C.

Small text sizes? What is the problem for you?

Whilst I wouldn't call it "awful", the spacing between the lines isn't helping any.
