I am right in assuming that:
2. Async methods have virtually no use outside the scope of event-driven
GTK+ applications (except perhaps as a way to implement additional Vala
features like Luca Bruno's generator, but at the cost of
runtime-performance).
3. There is always a way to write an

Question: At the C level, I guess this first calls forwards to
'other_method' to start it before returning to the caller due to the
'yield'. If the 'other_method' also yields, then there is no
problem, but if 'other_method' finishes

Can you rephrase?
We can call 'method' either like this:
method();
or like this:
method.begin();
or like this:
method.begin((obj, res) = {
method.end(res);
});
In the first two cases,

In the first two cases, is the .end() handled automatically? Looking
at the generated code, it doesn't seem so. Could this be a problem?
For example, could this cause a leak?
It's not a problem.
Thanks.
I've created a new page on the wiki trying to make the 'async'
python's case :
https://gist.github.com/f0ff2c3c66e6a5842e70
python return '' as EOF. but I don't know how to do well it with vala...
Sorry that I can't be of a help.

Congratulations to Jim Peters on his excellent job about documenting async
methods in Vala !
Thank you very much !
Question about combining async and threads in the generator example:
- Would it be possible to combine the last two examples for the following
purpose:
- In the last example, the
