Without SuspenseList these are mainly useful for parity between SuspenseList children and other children. It's also a performance optimization when used with RSC because you can start streaming in Server Components over the wire earlier instead of blocking for all items of a list to be known. |

Well, currently it's not actually possible to pass to |

yeah by "add" I meant "implement". Might be nice for parity, if nothing else. |

This is just a variant of an async function.
This just unwraps each thenable using the use() logic and then iterates over the it as an iterator.

…ent Components (#28868) Stacked on #28849, #28854, #28853. Behind a flag. If you're following along from the side-lines. This is probably not what you think it is. It's NOT a way to get updates to a component over time. The AsyncIterable works like an Iterable already works in React which is how an Array works. I.e. it's a list of children - not the value of a child over time. It also doesn't actually render one component at a time. The way it works is more like awaiting the entire list to become an array and then it shows up. Before that it suspends the parent. To actually get these to display one at a time, you have to opt-in with `<SuspenseList>` to describe how they should appear. That's really the interesting part and that not implemented yet. Additionally, since these are effectively Async Functions and uncached promises, they're not actually fully "supported" on the client yet for the same reason rendering plain Promises and Async Functions aren't. They warn. It's only really useful when paired with RSC that produces instrumented versions of these. Ideally we'd published instrumented helpers to help with map/filter style operations that yield new instrumented AsyncIterables. The way the implementation works basically just relies on unwrapThenable and otherwise works like a plain Iterator. There is one quirk with these that are different than just promises. We ask for a new iterator each time we rerender. This means that upon retry we kick off another iteration which itself might kick off new requests that block iterating further. To solve this and make it actually efficient enough to use on the client we'd need to stash something like a buffer of the previous iteration and maybe iterator on the iterable so that we can continue where we left off or synchronously iterate if we've seen it before. Similar to our `.value` convention on Promises. In Fizz, I had to do a special case because when we render an iterator child we don't actually rerender the parent again like we do in Fiber. However, it's more efficient to just continue on where we left off by reusing the entries from the thenable state from before in that case. DiffTrain build for commit 9f2eebd.
