📣 📣 📣 kotlinx.coroutines version 0.17 is released. It has a new CompletableDeferred primitive; Job.join and Deferred.await are waiting for coroutine’s execution on cancellation; CoroutineScope.context is renamed to coroutineContext and more. A full list of changes is here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/CHANGES.md

All factory functions for various interfaces are implemented as top-level functions

I glad to see that. I hope we move from overusing invoke just for the fun of it.

[elizarov]

It was fun, but too baroque and hard to get to less-experienced Kotlin users. Top-level functions serve the same need in a more straight-forward way

[elizarov]

Also, Kotlin stdlib uses top-level function with Upper-case first letter for pseudo-constructors.
