Can you recommend any general learning resources on coroutines?
I'm looking for tutorials, books, or other non-video sources that are largely language independent (or introduce a few primitives clearly) and, most importantly, explain how to program with couroutines and for which problems or situations they're typically used. I'm looking to learn the concepts, not features of specific languages.
I'm not interested in other control or concurrency primitives.
@amoroso I can offer a concrete example if it helps: in AntiWiki I use a coroutine (technically a Python generator function, same difference) to implement text search across a complex data structure, where you can't just store an index position. You have to pick up again from the same place in the code, stack frames and all, every time the user picks "find next".
