<div class=""><div class="">I'd love to have first-class support for generators like this, but it's a <i class="">lot</i> of work. It's a lot easier to do this sort of thing in a scripting language like Python than it is to do in a language like Swift, because it requires reifying the stack into a data structure that can be passed around. And I suspect there's a lot of non-trivial questions that have to get answered before you can even propose an implementation for this.<br class=""></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">For context, this sort of thing is something that people have been talking about doing in Rust for quite a while, and it keeps getting punted because of the amount of work and the unanswered questions about how it would actually be implemented.<br class=""></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">So I'll give this a general +1, but I think it should also be deferred until after Swift 3 at the earliest.</div>
</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Right. This is a major add-on feature that doesn’t fit in with the stated goals for Swift 3 (README of <a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution" class="">https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution</a>), so I think we should proactively defer it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>- Doug</div><br class="">
