Hi all, I just found a post that the current generator syntax (function *) seems have decided in:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2011-July/015799.html According to the post, the biggest reason the star syntax is adopted for now is that you cannot write empty generators with star-less functions in a consistent simple way. But the situation has changed, and in the current spec (rev 17) yield* is now capable of taking any kind of iterator, so you can make empty generators just like ```js function * () { yield * []; } ``` This looks enough good and simple at least to me. And I wonder if even now generators still need to be declared with 'star's. What are the advantages of 'star'ed generators rather than 'star'-lesses? If not exist, shouldn't it be removed (for the simplicity)? Thank you. -- Yuichi Nishiwaki _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
