Generators Python vs Scala

// Python version
def stream(count):
    for i in range(count):
        print("Generating new object ({})".format(i))
        yield "string_{}".format(i)

for item in stream(10):
    print(item)


// Scala version
def generate(count: Int): Iterator[String] = {
    def stream(current: Int): Stream[String] = {
        if (current < count) {
            s"string_$current" #:: stream(current + 1)
        } else {
            Stream.empty[String]
        }
    }

    stream(0).iterator
}

val stream: Iterator[String] = generate(10)
while (stream.hasNext) {
    println(stream.next())
}
