It's a coroutine. Not exactly revolutionary.

That's not exactly helpful if you don't know what coroutines are and how they work.

It's precisely all the help you need to go and look up your notes on coroutines from college. You did go to college didn't you? Or are you an anti-college hipster, suddenly finding the limitations of that approach.

Is it common to keep the notes you wrote in college?

This is probably the biggest jackass comment I've seen on HN in a while. Your college experience definitely shows.

Does studying CS at university make people as insufferably grumpy and unhelpful as you?

Come on, I've got a reasonable point here. People post on forums asking these questions which should have been answered during their educations. If civil engineers had a forum site and someone asked "how do I calculate the load a simple beam", people would say, what the fuck are you doing in your job if you don't know that? Who is employing you and why? Where did you go to college? Who was your tutor because next tim…

Neither a college education nor continued employment in the field is a requirement to ask a stackoverflow question. In fact, I'd venture to say that a version of stackoverflow where the default answer to everything was "you should have learned this in college" would not be very useful (or used) at all. If you find the discussion beneath you, I suggest that you not participate and find a better use of your time. Others may be getting value from it and I can't for the life of me understand why you think this is a bad thing.

I studied computer science at a university, not just a college, and coroutines weren't covered during the course. So even if you've got a degree, there's no guarantee you'll have met a coroutine!

(I do agree that a formal education is valuable, even if you already think (or know) you're good at programming. I learned a lot from my course. There's a lot to be said for being forced to learn a bunch of stuff, and when you're under 25 it's not like it's going to hurt.)

Loads of people didn't go to college, and program. Loads of people went to college doing something other than CS, and program. Loads of people haven't yet been to college, and intend to go and do CS, and program.

Why do you look down on all these people?

that is likely the reason why they felt the need to create a new account to post it.
