coroutines for newLISP

[pjot]

For me, the magic word in coroutines is 'reentrant'... :-)



Threads and forked processes are not reentrant. That is why the semaphores are needed in my small piece of code. (With threads you can stop execution waiting for mutexes to unlock, but it is not exactly the same.)



Also I found Simon Tatham's dirty trick extremely enlightening:
