Hypothesis: iterators in Lua are like monads in functional programming, insofar as once you understand them you become (1) unable to explain them to anyone else who doesn't; (2) compelled to make the attempt

but if nothing else I am secretly proud of the post title
Seems I missed a day (again) as well. Thursdays. I never could get the hang of Thursdays
@dan it's a great title =)
I think you're text got cut off where it says "binds the return values to " tho?
Hmm, weird. It should say "binds the return values to exp-list" except that exp-list is surrounded by a less-than sign and a greater-than sign. In my source markup I escaped the former as an HTML entity < and left the latter as a literal ASCII 62 code >, maybe that's not quite as standards-compliant as I'd always believed it to be?
In which browser are you (not) seeing this?
(Hoping that the fediverse is smart enough not to mangle this toot completely)
@dan I'm not seeing it any more--maybe it had something to do with the monospace font failing to load or taking a long time to load?
@dan I also wrote several more Fennel iterator functions after that one: https://github.com/leo60228/fennel-iter
