Generators, Coroutines and Other Brain Unrolling Sweetness
summary
C++20 coroutines produce lazy generators that let serial code yield values on demand; examples show an iota infinite generator, a spiral generator producing pixel coordinates, a hue-cycle generator, and a simple zip view that steps two generators in lockstep to draw colored pixels — the demos run with MSVC experimental support (non‑standard) and work but rely on an implementation library (cppcoro recommended). Warnings include dangling temporaries, “decapitation” when begin resumes execution, and no std::generator type yet.
