Hey (author of suspend here): this post was an earlier attempt I had an explaining some of the concepts involved: http://devsmash.com/blog/whats-the-big-deal-with-generators
It covers some of the basics, like, what iterators are, how generators relate to iterators, how generators enable "suspended" execution within the context of run-to-completion semantics; etc. Hope it helps!
