Asynchronous but Clear: Coroutines in Kotlin
summary
Kotlin's coroutine support is presented as a way to write clear asynchronous code without callback/Future/Promise clutter. It explains how Kotlin generalizes async/await ideas (in particular from C#) into a more universal coroutine mechanism that enables not only async programming but also lazy evaluation and other control-flow patterns.
