Can you be more specific, please, on what “concurrency models” you are interested in?

Actor, which you might have seen mentioned in a post I made in #coroutines ( https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C1CFAFJSK/p1583805157272700 ). Other concurrency models I am interested in are CSP, and Worker. Will the Worker model ( https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/CONCURRENCY.md ) be confined to Kotlin Native, or will it be accessible on other Kotlin platforms (Kotlin JVM, Kotlin JS) through a separate library?

All are supported and will be supported. They are nothing more than coroutines connected by channels in certain model-specific ways.
