Wait, Guido is proposing implementing INTERCAL'S COME FROM? (as yield from)?


For anyone curious, INTERCAL was originally a joke language which included a COMEFROM instruction that acted like GOTO in reverse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMEFROM

Python's "yield from" hands off execution to a sub-generator: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0380/


This was not meant to be a silly joke, but a serious statement. The use of capitals is warranted by the language's syntax.
