| May 19, 2016 at 22:35 | comment | added | Jules | Having thought about it for a while, the only thing I can think of is the async/await syntax in C#, or its predecessor the async monad in F#. There may have been a similar facility in Haskell implemented around the same time. AFAICT, while the techniques that would be required to implement that were well known back as far as the early 90s, nobody thought of an interface quite like that until relatively recently. | |

| May 19, 2016 at 17:12 | comment | added | Jules | @MartinBa - My understanding of the "ranges" proposal is that it's a replacement for iterators that are easier to work with and less error prone. I've not seen any suggestions that they'd allow anything as interesting as list comprehensions. | |

| May 18, 2016 at 20:04 | comment | added | Martin Ba | I thought the Ranges Proposal was supposed to solve this one? (Not even in C++17 I think) | |
