Hello, I have a question about fixed thread pools.
I see that fixed thread pools are now obsolete
https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/new-fixed-thread-pool-context.html
Is there any suggested way to replace this? or should we continue with newFixedThredPoolContext (or java style executors) (Sorry for crospostng from #general)

I believe it’s still correct to do Executors.newFixedThreadPool(COUNT).asCoroutineDispatcher()

Thanks. So what we do is using the Java convention enhanced with an extension function right?

[withoutclass]

Yes, with the asCoroutineDispatcher() extension, a Java Executor can be converted in to a dispatcher

Thank you very much, it was very helpful. that was something I was googling for hours.

You’re welcome 🙂
