kotlin 1.1 is in release candodate, but I am afraid we still cant use the features which require java 8 right? since android still doesnt support java 8

mingkangpan: which Kotlin features require Java 8?

[mingkangpan]

kotlinx.coroutines future implementation relies on CompletableFuture and therefore requires JDK 8, but it also provides portable defer primitive and it's possible to build other implementations.

#coroutines do not rely on CompletableFeature or any other platform-dependent features, they are providing syntax to use whatever you want.
