A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

They definitely can be. I always reason about them converting to callbacks in my head:

"Resume a coroutine" = invoke a callback
"Suspend a coroutine" = pass a callback to something
"Call a suspend function" = pass a callback to the function
"Dispatch a coroutine" = post a callback on an executor
"Channel" = blocking queue that accepts callbacks instead of actually blocking.

Everything else is just shorthand for talking about callbacks.

They are similar to channels in Go, yes. Afaik the only differences are that Go's channels are always finite, kotlin allows unbounded ones.

go routines channel are more with hardware and coroutines are more with functions :slightly_smiling_face:

It's all pointers and machine code eventually
