# coroutines

one of the things that I don’t get it, that Kotlin is full of features that help you write code in functional style, but they built Coroutines in a way that doesn’t change your “Imperative style” in code .. wasn’t be a good thing to build Coroutine so it fit nicely with a functional code.

[Mohamed Ibrahim]

the whole premise of coroutine that it doesn’t change the way you code. you may build up on it .. but most of Coroutine examples did it the imperative way

[gildor]

Coroutines allow to write imperative and functional, it's just a language feature.
For example check #arrow, they use coroutines a lot for completely functional things

Suspend function by itself imo has nothing to do with imperative code, you can write functional code with it

[gildor]

But coroutines solve problem when non functional project have to use some functional concepts just to do asyncronous programming which very often do not add any value, just more confusion
