> no commonly used high level language supports the coroutine call primitive
Shows how old this post is. In fact I remember reading it well over 10 years ago, maybe more like 20. archive.org says that it's at least as old as 2001. A great article.
I'm very excited to see he's published a new article on C++20 coroutines. I've read (or maybe skimmed...) a few introductions and not really got them, despite having used C# and Python coroutines a lot with no problems (even making changes to an async runtime for Python). Given how clear his C coroutine article is, I'm optimistic about the C++ article.
