Kotlin successfully introduced green threads (viz. coroutines) to the JVM world way back when. Kotlin constructs for structured concurrency are especially super nice.
- pkolaczk 4y agoScala has had coroutines (async+await) before Kotlin existed, so not sure if "introduced to JVM" is the right word here. But anyway, I agree they are nice in Kotlin.
