- Well, there's the C++ task package.
-
- More generally, coroutines require some kind of support for
- multiple stacks, which can be a tricky problem in the absence
- of garbage collection. One would therefore expect to find
- coroutine support in at least some languages that have
- garbage collectors, and indeed there is: Icon and Scheme
- come to mind, as well as local extensions in some implementations
- of ML.
