I like the overview given in this Stackoverflow answer [1] (based on an even earlier comment) which classifies different types of continuations:
- Asymmetric or symmetric
- Stackful or stackless
- Delimited or undelimited
- Multi-prompt or single prompt
- Reentrant or non-reentrant
- Clonable or not
Based on that these generators (or semi-coroutines as the article also calls them) seem to be asymmetric, stackful, delimited, single prompt(?), non-reentrant continuations.
Fun read! If anyone is interested in more, I believe Andy Wingo has written about the implementation of delimited continuations in guile scheme over at https://wingolog.org

I haven't seen Lone Lisp before. Is it meant to be like a Symbolics Lisp Machine, where the entire userspace is lisp?
I really like using generators in typescript. They make a lot of problems much easier.
