PyCon: Evangelizing Python

Parent article: PyCon: Evangelizing Python

I'm not a Python programmer (Pythonista?) but I *adore* yield :) I've written my share of implementations of Java's Iterator interface so I can truly appreciate it's tremendous usefulness (which I don't have in Java).

Also, generators etc. are quite clearly an influence of functional languages that I'd like to see more of in the so-called mainstream languages.

C# has all of that. It also has Linq, which makes processing sequences (or anything that can be represented as a sequence) fairly easy, in an SQL-like language.
