# coroutines

There is no reason to argue when every person has its own use-case in mind. Different use-cases are better suited for different solutions and tools. For those who say “ReactiveX is enough” I’d suggest to look at coroutine-based #ktor routing and try to figure out how ReactiveX would have been of any help there 😉

Could you please elaborate why rx won’t be useful there?

I’d really suggest you look at how ktor uses suspending functions and what power does it bring

[defhlt]

I had. it’s a little hard to grok the whole architecture right away. I’ll try more.

Even the most basic samples use suspending functions. The most basic call.responText is a suspending function that you can just invoke. You don’t need flatMap or anything like that to combine it with other steps of processing you do. You can naturally describe the step-by-step logic of your application.
