  What we have in Nim in place of Python generators?

  Are there posts exists compare Python code with generators and Nim analog?

  I slowpoky read these David M. Beazley's slides about generators, and it looks very interesting to be used.

  • http://www.dabeaz.com/generators/
  • http://www.dabeaz.com/coroutines/
  • http://www.dabeaz.com/finalgenerator/

  and also Prolog-like inference uses the same generators

  AFAIK it is easy to create an iterator in Nim. Generator functions/expressions in Python are just shortcuts to create iterators.

  I see it, I should ask mostly about some differences maybe exists (recursion, yield in rvalue expressions, stack and threading limits, etc).
