Better asynchronous programming with Kotlin Coroutines
summary
Builds a tiny DSL with extension functions load/then that runs a background async block as a Deferred and resumes on the UI, wires a LifecycleObserver to cancel that Deferred when stopped, and implements click throttling with an actor backed by a channel using offer to drop events while busy. Shows integration with Retrofit via a Deferred adapter, claims hundreds to thousands of coroutines are cheap on Android, and notes coroutines are still experimental.
