I'm very interested in seeing if using the commonly implemented forms of compiler support for async programming can also be well used for GUI programming. One wishawa[0] is also perusing this approach in Rust but I first came upon this idea from the crank-js[1] authors. It wasn't clear to me why that one never went anywhere. Was it failure with the approach or was React just a good solution in the space? I can say this though, there's something strikingly elegant about those initial samples of using JavaScript generators for components.

Thanks for reminding me about Crank; it was The Hot New Thing for about a week when it launched. I’m guessing the project lead just couldn’t convert that initial interest into useful contribution. Glad to see he’s still working on it, though.
