The history of iterators and generators could be summarized by saying that an API was invented, then it turned out that in practice one way of implementing them -- generators -- was almost universally useful.it is fun because the two of us sort of already had this discussion in compressed form a lot of time ago:
This proposal seems a bit like an effort to make generators good at doing something that they aren't really intended -- or dare I say suited? -- for. The tail wagging the dog so to speak.
