While we are at sequences what are differences between buidSequence & generateSequence is it only that the later takes suspendable function ?

[karelpeeters]

`Sequence`s are lazy `Iterator`s mostly. I don't know about the difference, maybe check the code?

[lupajz]

I know they are lazy iterators. But why do we have 2 different ? Why not have just one builder for this ?

[karelpeeters]

Like I said, read the code or maybe the docs even explain the difference?

@lupajz generateSequence uses only kotlin stdlib, buildSequenece relies on co-routines and yields values
