Yeah, the Java platform is moving toward: * Lightweight concurrency models (actors, fork/join) * Functional models (closures) Coroutines fit *perfectly* into both areas as pausable/resumable units of work or for supporting pausable/resumable functions and closures. Java 8 should be the "functional concurrency" release, and coro should go along with that. - Charlie _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
