@gbaldeck coroutines, both in JVM and in JS, are not about threads at all. Coroutines are just functions that can be suspended somewhere during their execution, nothing more. Using this mechanism, it's possible to create different things, like asynchronous computations, generators (aka yield), fibers, etc-etc. Both JVM and JS support suspend keyword, which allows to (obviously) to suspend execution of a function at a certain point.
