Kotlin coroutines are using thread pools in background. How does coroutine can start executing in one thread, suspend execution, and resume on a different thread?

Coroutines are just fancy callbacks. The CoroutineDispatcher is responsible for invoking the callbacks, and it can invoke them on whatever thread it wants.

Like if you pass a callback to a Java API that uses `Executor`s. The Executor could decide to invoke the callback immediately, or schedule it to run on a different thread.
