Our primary goal when deciding which variant of JavaScript to implement is that people should not to have to worry about whether their code runs in Apple Safari or Google Chrome. If it runs in one it should run in the other. Adding new language features goes against that goal so we're reluctant to do that.
Note also that generators is not a standardized JavaScript extension. The most recent standardized edition is the one we implement, edition 3 (aka ECMA-262).
