What’s the current status of multi-threaded coroutines on K/N? Are there async and launch implementations? Doesn’t seem to be available in common

[Kris Wong]

there are still separate native-mt artifacts for this

[russhwolf]

async and launch are available in common even without multithreaded coroutines. You just can't use them to switch threads

[Nick]

can you switch threads?

[kpgalligan]

Yes

[Sam Garfinkel]

In single threaded mode, does that mean that the scheduler does its best to suspend and resume as necessary to give multi-threaded-like behavior?

[Anders]

It means dispatchers are bound to a single thread to comply to the restrictive K/N memory model, instead of a shared thread pool like Dispatchers.Default in JVM. Jobs still run concurrently in the same cooperative scheduling manner.
