I like the overview given in this Stackoverflow answer [1] (based on an even earlier comment) which classifies different types of continuations:
- Asymmetric or symmetric
- Stackful or stackless
- Delimited or undelimited
- Multi-prompt or single prompt
- Reentrant or non-reentrant
- Clonable or not
Based on that these generators (or semi-coroutines as the article also calls them) seem to be asymmetric, stackful, delimited, single prompt(?), non-reentrant continuations.
That's a great overview. Yeah they are asymmetric, Wikipedia says symmetric and asymmetric correspond to coroutines and semicoroutines. They are also stackful and delimited. They are single shot by design, though I could easily make it possible to restart the generator from scratch if needed. As for single prompt vs multiprompt... I'm not too sure about this one. I have a check to prevent recursion but nesting generators shouldn't be a problem since they keep track of their own callers.
