Unfold values on-demand from a function.

You may want to use this library when you have a function that can generate a sequence of values but the sequence is too large to fit into memory, or it would be wasteful to do so. You could instead create a Yielder for it and only have the section you are working on in memory, and halt evaluation when you have consumed as much of the sequence as you need for your program.

gleam add gleam_yielder@1

import gleam/yielder

pub fn main() {
  yielder.unfold(2, fn(acc) { yielder.Next(acc, acc * 2) })
  |> yielder.take(5)
  |> yielder.to_list
  // -> [2, 4, 8, 16, 32]
}
