Bloplang Pull Request #48592: Add zip method to iterators 
This is a proposal to add the zip method to iterators. This would allow you to join two iterators together, alternating between results from both. E.g. tens.zip(hundreds) would give [10, 100, 20, 200, 30].... This has been the most requested feature on our wishlist for seven months, and my initial implementation here provides a 12% speed up on the test_cases/thousands_of_types.blop. 👍 532 👎 12 🚀 226 👀 114 😕 3

I've never heard of "zip" before. Googling it, it seems to be a compression algorithm? Not sure what this has to do with iterators. I suggest naming it interleave instead. 👍 23 👎 34
zip seems to be pretty widely accepted. For example, Rust and Python call it zip. 👍 27 😕 1
yeah i've never head of zip before. interleave is too long tho, how about weave 👍 54 👎 27

This for loop could be better expressed as a map. 😕 1
How about spritz? In the idiolect of English spoken by my Discord server, spritz is very commonly used to refer to mixing things together. EDIT If you're going to laugh react, please leave a comment explaining why. 👍 5 😆 143

That's a bug with your Linux distribution’s zip command, which has nothing to do with Bloplang. Open a thread on the Fedora forums to discuss that, although they'll probably tell you that Fedora 32 is EOL. 👍 66
Okay, so we have 17 votes in favour of zip, 12 for weave, 5 for spritz, and somehow only 2 for interleave. Oh, and 1 each for sprinkle, intersperse_at_least_two_iterators_with_each_other, and sum. I'm beginning to suspect botting. 👍 7 😕 12
Hey read bean - this pull request is out of sync with main. Could you rebase on top of the twelve thousand commits that have occurred since you opened this? Thanks! 👍 63 🚀 2
whats stoping this from being merged? can we get an eta 👍 12 😕 2
It's mostly a debate on the name to use. I'm not sure why people aren't voting for interleave. I've provided numerous arguments as to why it's the obvious option, and I've even linked a conversation with ChatGPT 4-o proving that it makes the most sense. Sigh. 👍 2 😕 70 😆 11
