Well, Aldor does have generators:

http://www.aldor.org/docs/HTML/chap9.html

  "In fact, this form of using generators is so common, that
  if the expression E in ``for v in E.'' does not belong to a
  generator type, then an implicit call is made to an appropriate
  generator function. This is equivalent to writing
  ``for v in generator E.'' "

The Aldor/Axiom interface provides such a generator for the
Axiom Vector type so in Aldor one can write:
 
  V:Vector Integer := [1,2,3];
  L:List Integer := [ i for i in V ];

Here is a simple example:
