how should it be used? I'm looking at the api but I don't get it really... 🤔

val mutex = Mute() 

mutex.withLock { // just like synchronized(lock)
    // critical section
}

oh okay, so I shouldn't really use the

lock

tryLock

etc methods for a default use case?

You could, but you should not

withLock

covers the typical use

It wasn't easy but I finally figured everything out after testing in a new empty project. I also watched your talk "Kotlin Coroutines Reloaded", which helped me understand it. Thanks for that 🙂
