And this is a presentation explaining why generators may be extremely useful for all kind of data pipelines: https://www.dabeaz.com/generators/Generators.pdf

If you don't know it already, it is really worth looking into. I am a python dev with nearly a decade of experience and I knew generators, and yet this was still an eye opener.

Wow, thanks for that -- that's an excellent slide deck.

Note that despite this being a python-specific slide deck, generators and iterators are also present in many other languages, including but not limited to Rust and JS.

The concepts matter more than the chosen language in this deck.

I learned a lot! Looks like I can apply this to a PHP trace/profile parser project, especially the pipelined parsing and the query language idea.
