WhWhat are GO code generators ? (page 85, "Concurrency in GO")"

On page 85 of “Concurrency in GO” the author Katherine Cox writes “…remember you can always create go generators for this code …”

What are code generators, are they a property of the GO language or just a figure of speech ?

Hi,

No, generators are not a builtin feature of Go contrary to Python or JS for example.
In this context, they’re exactly what they’re supposed to be : they generate value by value at each call instead of returning all. You’ve got an example in the same book page 104 : the generator accepts a list of integers and return a channel where each integer will be sent one by one.
