C++ Coroutines and Structured Concurrency in Practice
summary
Describes an open-source runtime called Corral framework that applies structured concurrency to real I/O-bound production code, interoperates with existing loops (example: Boost.Asio), and claims concrete outcomes — ~40–50% code reduction and fewer weird bugs after two years in production. Covers API design, task cancellation semantics, timeouts, nursery/task-group patterns, and practical migration patterns for callback-heavy legacy code; shows what was built and that it worked in multiple services.
