I understand that this formulation is more powefull, but one thing I like about python's way (where a coroutine is just a funny way to generate lazy arrays) is that it lets you _use_ coroutines without even knowing what they are about.Such as when you say: for $graph.nodes { ... } .nodes may be implemented as a coroutine, but you just don't care about it. Plus any function that previously returned an array can be reimplemented as coroutine at any time, without having to change the caller side.
Yes, it may be that Pythonic -- as opposed to Satherian/CLUic -- iterators are a better fit for Perl 6. It rather depends on the semantics of Perl 6 iterators, which Larry hasn't promulgated fully yet.
In other words, how do you create a lazy array of dynamically generated values in perl6? Maybe it could be something like this: $foo = &bar.instantiate(1, 2, 3); @array = $foo.as_array;
Well, I think it has to be much less ugly than that! ;-) Damian
