"Generators first appeared in CLU (1975),[4] were a prominent feature in
the string manipulation language Icon (1977) and are now available
inPython,[5]C#,[6]Ruby and other languages. In CLU and C#, generators are
callediterators, and in Ruby, enumerators."

At this point even c# has yield since version 2, exactly 8 years ago and I
have seen used for  coroutines/async
