This isn't Rust-related, but I wanted to report that I spent much of this evening developing a revised version of my Ionmonkey patch to implement generator syntax changes for Harmony, and finally submitted the patch for review, after a 9-month break since the last time I worked on this.
I want to emphasize that I only worked on the syntax changes and haven't touched any related semantics changes at all. Why did it take so long? Well, mostly because I spent most of the time not working on it. When faced with urgent work on Rust (inside my comfort zone) or JavaScript work (outside my comfort zone), it's pretty obvious what I'll pick! But also, it's just hard to work on a compiler for a language that I don't know (JavaScript) that's also implemented in a language I don't know well (C++).
Anyway, for the first time in 9 months I can actually relax and wait for a review, instead of feeling like I should work on this the next time I have a free moment and enough energy for work! I'll enjoy the feeling while it lasts.
