Yeah I was using the term lockless loosely here, not referring to atomics. I agree that using explicitly switched coroutines is not sufficient for mostly “lockless” programming (but I do think it’s necessary). I was coming from a thread per core perspective where you run one event loop per core and limit cross core communications (like in the Seastar framework). With this you should be able to perform most state manipulations without locks.
