Can you add permalinks to the section headers? e.g. I can manually link to, let's say, Step 6 by going through the html source but it'd be nice if there were just a link right there. Something like this?.

Also, given the length, a table of contents would be 👌. I'm sure there's some plugin somewhere you can add to do that easily, I just don't know what that is.

@brevzin Thanks for the tip.

I've added anchor links and a table-of-contents now.

very good post!

Step 13: Implementing symmetric-transfer and the noop-coroutine

this is a loop in coroutine_handle resume function，so how can the compiler implement with tail-call? or just for introduce the principles, there is no loop in real completed generated code?
