Of course, but with any flow control (loops, branches, etc.), CPS in JS can
quickly turn into a ugly and painful exercise. Generators don't provide any
fundamentally higher level of computability than lambda gave us, but they
are powerful construct with value. My point was simply to add to the list of
use cases for generators and throw in my vote for them. I didn't mean to
detract from Brendan's list.
Thanks,
