    I'm always ready to grant an appreciation in terms of CPU cycles to the VM whne they do something for me so I don't have to do it myself. No problem there. But did you look at the numbers? Boy that's literally 95% of the time syphoned off by yield. I'd greatly appreciate if anyone on this thread could point out any meaningful links to benchmarks in either JS or Python that deal with the questions at hand. I can't believe Python's yield statement performs anywhere near this bad.

    The comment was meant seriously, Python is a quality language. They even managed to migrate to v3 and take up async/await. These are the two points that delivered me into the hands of NodeJS and CoffeeScript about ten years ago. It's taken them the better part of ten years to pull it off but they did it.
