Sid,
Welcome to the club. I haven't seen this much traffic in months.
You get ! .vs. every. The greedy analogy is perfect.
A friend recently pointed me at a C# (I think) construct called yield returns
as a comparable for generators (and co-routines).
Next/soon you may want to look at co-expressions.
Yes it's getting colder here in Canada. I wonder how manyCanuckUniconists
there are?
BTW. In a related note there was a project called Godiva about an enhanced
Java that had some very *iconish things. I don't know how far it got but the
paper I read on it about how Java didn't go far enough was very interesting.
Cheers,
David
from T.O.

I see! I was just reading about explicitly using "suspend
<some_expr>". I guess that in the case of my snippet, the "suspend" is
implied - to someone who understands what's going on.

Right now, I'd rather enjoy imagining learning (Un)icon on a laptop,
parked on a warm beach somewhere South, and not in this cold-ass Canada ;)
