ES6 (ES2015) - Generators

This may sound off topic, but up until this video, i've noticed that ecma script 6 looks a lot like python.. any reason or story behind it?

I was following along with the ES6 lessons nicely up to this one. Then........wat?

John Lindquist mentions there will be follow up lessons on practical use cases of Generators. I realize there are whole courses on RxJS, etc but can we see some practical uses of Generators soon?

I'm wondering the same thing. There is an RxJS Observables + Generators lesson by Mr. CycleJS.

lost the thread of the course on this video. I really could have used some sort of practical example of generators.

Hey James, generators had me scratching my head for a practical use for a long time. Then I saw them used for redux-sagas. Mind blown! http://joelhooks.com/blog/2016/03/20/build-an-image-gallery-using-redux-saga

Please fix this sound. Twelve is very low volume, then when you come into thirteen it blows your eardrums out !!!

I would also like to see practical use cases of generators.

At 4:38, when I called the first next with a string, it didn't throw a TypeError for me.

does anyone have a link to his aforementioned 'practical uses' video? cheers

there's a course for generators you might like to watch https://egghead.io/courses/write-simple-asynchronous-code-with-javascript-generators

Thanks Alex!

I agree with many of the comments above that this chapter is missing information on practical use cases for generators.

Finally a simple explanation of generators. So far I was just confused about the logic and usage. Thanks!
