A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Does kotlin have an equivalent of twisted’s `deferToThread()` ?  IE, a neat, packaged way to spawn a thread/run some blocking work on a thread pool, and monitor it from a coroutine which resumes the caller when the blocking code finishes?

Actually, think I answered my own question.  Sorry, still an early learner!

But I think the answer is
```withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
    someBlockingOperation()
}```


Possibly `async` if you want to start a new coroutine, but it's <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>, yeah.
