Here is a 69 lines implementation of the idea of applying extended
generators to manage Web forms (obviously this is only a proof of
concept and it contains many mistakes, but you have something to get
started).

I've been looking at this myself, trying to understand the point of
coroutines. I believe that they boil down to generators which are able
to take in data as well as provide it. A simple way of l

here's what I think is the first published example that uses "yield" for

that snippet uses a generator to implement a simple network protocol.

the What's New section and it's still all Greek to me. The latter seems
