Sign upAdd generator expressions from existing array comprehension syntax #15
Conversation
Originally pitched at HaxeFoundation/haxe#5909 . I think that because Array Comprehension syntax exists it would be natural to have Generator Expressions with the same syntax. However, if Haxe implements a yield statement, work on that should probably supercede consideration of this particular proposal.

This proposals focuses on the syntax of a new feature while neglecting the actual implementation it would require. Lazy evaluation is not something you can just switch on. It requires to think about what code should be generated and in our case this means thinking about all the target generators. Generators can be implemented based on something like async/await. We are currently considering what exactly we want to support in this regard for Haxe 4. I am thus closing this proposal. |
