02/26/2020, 5:01 AMI’m curious about how the kotlin compiler works with coroutines. Currently I’m looking the official kotlin repository(https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin), but there are a lot of modules and it’s hard to figure out where to start. Could you guys give me some guidance?

02/26/2020, 9:47 AMCoroutines is a library. Try searching for suspend in the compiler. Coroutines and other libs are built on top of suspend providing a runtime implementing startCoroutine... Methods published in the suspend intrinsics of the std lib
