summary

Claims that ES6 generators let code be both faster and clearer by turning iterative and async patterns into simple linear code. Shows a working tree-traversal generator, an infinite sequence of numbers with skip/take paging that yields expected ranges, and an async runner that resumes generators by awaiting Promises (errors rethrown into the generator). Demonstrates generator-based batching for UI work and coroutine-like channels; runs in Chrome flag, Node harmony/unstable and Firefox Nightly.
