Brain Unrolling: Generators and the Sweet Syntactic Sugar of Coroutines

I don't know.

Fun tidbit about Rust: in Rust, using iterators is actually faster than normal loops because the compiler can elide (infer and remove? not entirely sure how to define elude), most of the bounds checking.

I'd assume it also gets optimized out in heavily optimized interpreters, like the JVM.

try your for loops and equivalents in godbolt.org with different C++ compilers.

I think of it like streams vs strings. When you are writing a one-off script, reading an entire file into a string in memory is fine. When you are writing a library and need to handle files in the wild, you are going to read the file in chunks and process them as a stream. Generators are like streams for iterables. You don't usually write code that manually builds streams. Likewise, you generally will not write generators that manually yield values. The standard library will provide a collection of tools that make the operations you were already performing on collections more memory efficient by using generators to avoid intermediate buffers.

I'm going to take a wild stab here (closed the tab), but dx is usually x2-x1 (aka, distance in x)
