A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

is it accurate to say that coroutines are kotlins implementation of green threading or is it different/ more than that?

Hi Patrick
following the wikipedia defintion
```
In computer programming, green threads are threads that are scheduled by a runtime library or virtual machine (VM) instead of natively by the underlying operating system.
```
I would say that Java Threads are "green threads"

Coroutines are much more than that. They are basically a toolset for asynchronous programming which gives you not only concurrency but also continuation and suspension

there is actually a very good tak from Roman Elizarov from Kotlinonf 2018

Java `Thread`s aren't green they're scheduled by the OS, not the JVM.

Thanks for the Info Karel :slightly_smiling_face:

I would say the difference is coroutines normally function via cooperation rather than random-ish interruption
