[Mono-devel-list] Coroutines

[Rodrigo B. de Oliveira]

You might try something like C#/Python/Boo yield statement to simulate
true coroutines:

def update():
    while true:
        print("updating...")
        yield null

def main():
    while true:
        print("main thread...")
	yield null

i = 0
for ignored in zip(update(), main()):
    print(".")
    break if i > 10
    i += 1

There are some limitations wrt exception handling, you'd have to test it
to see if you can live with them... 

Unfortunately the boo compiler still cant handle the program above (it
should in a week or so) and I'm not sure about IronPython so mcs/gmcs
might be your only option right now, c#'s syntax is just a little
heavier, not a big deal.

cheers,
Rodrigo
