A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Notice that the kotlin coroutines hasn't had a version uptick in awhile. Wondering whats next on the roadmap for coroutines.

We're currently working on getting a release out, mostly with bugfixes and documentation improvements. We had an idea to make this release one with a large amount of potentially breaking changes, but that didn't work out, as we got a critical mass of other small fixes here and there. It makes sense to push them out now.

nice <@U013DCMNJTH>! Any new feature releases in the future, for instance "Complex Actors"?

Features are certainly planned for the future (though right now, we're focusing on improving/cleaning up the APIs we already have). Regarding actors specifically: it's a tough problem. We consistently see interest in that feature, but most of it comes from people new to coroutines. In most cases, it turns out there is a viable coroutine-idiomatic approach already, and we'd obviously prefer our users to stick to that if possible! To introduce actors, we'd need to become proficient in them, isolate the user cases that coroutines don't cover well, and then introduce an API tailored to exactly that.
