I’m not sure I understand why kotlin will need to catch up with loom? Blocking kotlin code should benefit immediately.

"Catch up" as in making sure that it's compatible with -- and ideally leverages -- those new platform features. > Blocking kotlin code should benefit immediately. I'd be remiss if I downplayed the value of that; however, Kotlin Coroutines won't benefit immediately, which is what many people who've invested in the Kotlin ecosystem use for structure concurrency. There's a uncertainty amongst the community whether Loom will complement coroutines or conflict/supersede it. https://old.reddit.com/r/Kotlin/comments/il9u7o/how_will_kotlin_use_project_loom_will_coroutines/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Kotlin/comments/il9u7o/how_will_kot... https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-coroutines-and-upcoming-java-loom/15819 https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-coroutines-and-upcom... https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/how-does-kotlin-plan-to-integrate-coroutines-with-java-project-loom/13413 https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/how-does-kotlin-plan-to-int...
