Yep. The other response has it pretty right. I don't really care that i use _all_ the cores. Ideally i have one or two dedicated to IO, some for general computation, but most importantly i need things to get the fuck out of the main thread as fast as possible. User clicks somewhere, offload any computation to a coroutine on the background. If you don't do this, your UI will die. Even small, 50ms calculations are dreadful if ran on the UI thread. That means 3 dropped frames. Structured concurrency just means that i can both not really care where it goes, be generous on coroutines (I have only screwed up once, and that was by having hundreds of threads deadlocking on database access. Otherwise, you most likely have... 50 running at worst?). Structured concurrency also means that the moment i drop out of a screen, every computation launched in the context of this screen and not a higher level is just dropped immediately, meaning it runs just when I need it to
