Hello everyone,
A bit about me then the question: I use Kotlin almost 5 months now. I have been programming for about 2 years total(1.5 year trying to learn Java - spring, 5 months professionally). Currently I am using Kotlin with Spring Batch & Boot.

All this time I have been skipping Concurrency "for later" and I think the time has come now. I am thinking If you guys as most experienced individuals, would suggest I skip Java concurrency and dive directly to Kotlin concurrency/coroutines?
Will I miss "important background" if I do that, or is it completely normal to start my journy with kotlin? Thanks.

You likely want to start with Java concurrency (executors, runnables, threads, etc.) because it will help you understand how Kotlin coroutines run a little more (coroutines run on Java thread pools under the hood)

Got it! Thanks!
