'Text Blocks' took many years and you still need pass a flag to use it, I can't imagine how much time Loom will take. Maybe move to Kotlin coroutines?

- enitihas 6y agoI really like Kotlin, but text blocks were never the pain point for me in Java. The best thing Kotlin brings to the table is explicit nullability, which makes it so much easier to reason what can be null or not. Loom and Kotlin coroutines are not the same though. Loom will bring real fibres to the JVM, which maybe Kotlin coroutines can use. Kotlin coroutines should also benefit from Loom.
- Scarbutt 6y agoYep, but if you want/need more efficient concurrency today...
- nickbauman 6y agoAm I the only one who really dislikes coroutines?
