Question: Is it already given that something like greenlets is out

I think an number of people have expressed a distaste for implicit task switching. That doesn't mean "no", but I'm guessing what's going to happen is having some kind of explicit, generator based thing, with an underlying API that makes implementing greenlets pretty easy.
 
Is the whole discussion about what would be best, or just
"you can choose any implementation provided it's generators" ? :-)

Thanks for your reply.

Just one thing that I don't get.
What do you mean by 'implicit taskswitching' ?
There is no such thing in greenlet, if you really meant that
Library from Armin Rigo.

greenlets do everything explicitly, no pre-emption at all.

So, is there a general understanding what a greenlet is and what not?
Just to make sure that the discussed terms are clearly defined.

cheers - Chris
