FWIW, I would be inclined to write that in Python like this:

def first(iterable):
    try:
        return next(iter(iterable))
    except StopIteration:
        raise ValueError("iterable was empty")

squares = (x * x for x in range(0, 1000))
first(x for x in squares if x % 14 == 0)

It does a bit too much to comfortably be a one-liner no matter which
way you write it, so I split it into two.

Cheers,
Ian
