Can anyone point me to good literature on projections or thoughts on future
performance of Generators in JavaScript? I would like to develop heuristics and
intuition about their use knowing that anything that is absolutely critical
should of course be benchmarked by me, but also wanting enough knowledge to
operate confidently in my choice of tool and techniques. For context I am
concerned about the full stack so cannot focus on a single engine (V8 etc.).
Say for example that I wanted to write in a functional lazy-evaluation style; I
want a sense within the order-of-magnitude at least for the general trade-offs
I am making.
I don’t feel like justifying why I’m curious about this (as I seemed to have
had to do on the Node IRC channel, sigh). So please just answer if you have
constructive information to add. I understand this space is moving fast with
patches that are increasing performance by orders of magnitude (e.g.
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3928
<https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3928>) so I’m more concerned
with the longer term, 12-24+ months, how close will Generators get to regular
functions in perf, etc.
Thanks so much,
Jason
