Looking forward to watching. Obviously Coroutines aren't going anywhere, but I've been interested to see what happens with Loom + Kotlin.

No, Loom is JVM only.

It will be a supplement.

This is from the JetBrains team. I think it's gonna be great.

And obviously, coroutines aren't going anywhere.

Please share a tl;dr when you watch it! If the coroutines are going to be killed, I really do need to know, but videos are not my format.

I just lold. Better touch up your resume!

Without having watched the video, from some past discussions I’ve heard that the tl’dr is basically no, and in fact it coroutines can use Loom under the hood for dispatchers like <http://Dispatcher.IO|Dispatcher.IO> in order to get the benefits Loom gives while still dealing with good-old coroutines and everything it gives.
If someone watches the video and sees that what I am saying is wrong I’d love to hear about it.

I listened to the talk. The speaker wasn't very knowledgable and was kind of all over the place. The take-away for me was "Don't care about Loom", since I already use coroutines.
