to get the terminology right, these are green threads, right?

I think that's technically incorrect because green threads have no concept of structure -- in this example,

coroutineScope {}

will suspend until all of the Jobs launched inside (by

async

here) are completed

(the technically correct term I guess would be just "coroutine"? 😄 )

I think "job" is the best, since that encapsulates the whole lifecycle
