Are workers as a concept planned for the stable release of coroutines, or coming later?

i.e. not just constraining concurrency with a `newFixedThreadPoolContext`, but the actual number of coroutines total?

Can't you just keep track of the number of coroutines you launch? Or do I misunderstand your issue

you want to limit your coroutines or count them?

Limit them - it's similar to Roman's KotlinConf presentation. In my case have I a connection pool and an external host I want to limit concurrency to. I want no more than that many workers running. There's an receive channel for keys to load, and an send channel for results - so those workers for loop in the receive channel

Right now, I just for loop a range `1..numWorkers` and `launch(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)` within the scope I need them to live for

Sure, but sounded like there was a plan to support that as a pattern, I guess it's an `actor`?
