On: Why would anyone need JavaScript generator functions?

[activitypea]

This was killing me when back when I was a Python dev. A "generator" is just a callable object made less reasonable.

Even callable objects are kinda brain breaking. I used to joke that the duality of callable objects (and getter/setters, function prototypes in js) were as mysterious as the wave/particle duality in quantum mechanics.

[Izkata → throwawaymaths]

I mean, if we're talking python here, functions are callable objects.

Good point.

[eurasiantiger → throwawaymaths]

Functions are objects too.
