If your intention is to some other scope, iterate over it, do some other stuff, then be able to iterate over it again later on in that same scope. Then the only thing you shouldn’t try doing is passing the iterator, instead pass the generator: var generator = function*() { yield 1; yield 2; yield … Read more

Python-style generators in Go

Yes, increasing the buffer size might drastically increase the execution speed of your program, because it will reduce the number of context switches. Goroutines aren’t garbage-collected, but channels are. In your example, the fibonacci goroutine will run forever (waiting for another goroutine to read from the channel c), and the channel c will never be … Read more

Lexer written in Javascript? [closed]

It has been developed, both, with the intention of building a productive compiler development system and with the intention of creating an easy-to-use academic environment for people interested in how parse table generation is done general in bottom-up parsing. … Read more
