Or have I misunderstood what you're getting at. As in Python 2.5, JS1.7 and up support yield expressions too. These return values and resume with new values when the generator is continued via next (which sends undefined) or send(v) (arbitrary v). The simple_range example I showed happened to use yield as an expression-statement. I don't expect we'll CPS-transform any future ES spec, but you are entitled to pain if you like it ;-). /be _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list Es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
