Chris Lattner recently commented in <https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/11501> that the prototype could use <https://llvm.org/docs/Coroutines.html> support. In one of the CppCon videos, Gor Nishanov said that C++ coroutines won't have an `async` keyword, and will be compatible with function pointers in C and C++. * <https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/CPP/C-PP-Con-2014/0006-await-20-Stackless-Resumable-Functions> * <https://channel9.msdn.com/events/CPP/CppCon-2015/CPPConD03V008> * <https://channel9.msdn.com/events/CPP/CppCon-2016/CppCon-2016-Gor-Nishanov-C-Coroutines-Under-the-covers> I couldn't find the reason for this decision; does anyone here know why C++ coroutines don't need an `async` keyword? And/or why do Swift coroutines need the `async` keyword? Does it imply a hidden parameter, like the `throws` keyword? -- Ben _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
