I don’t think anyone here is focused on anything like Kotlin vs Loom. @darksnake asked you about reasons why you think that Loom is supperior and you tried to back this up, but as @fvasco pointed out some of your arguments, don’t have any data to back them up. Maybe there are proper comparissons, but I couldn’t find any and so far you didn’t provide them either.
I think this part of fvasoc’s answer sums up the problem quite nicely:
This reminds me of disscussions about project Valhalla and how it can be merged with inline classes. In theory this sounds like something that should maybe be considered, but right now there isn’t really anything that can be done about it.
We don’t know anything about how a final version of Loom or Valhalla will look like or when it will be released so speculating about what is better or how they can be combined is just pointless.
Kotlin tries to give the best tools now. If there are better alternatives in the future, kotlin will have to adapt.
I don’t have any real input for this discussion. I’m not a great user of kotlin coroutines and my understanding of it is basic. My understanding of Loom is even less developed, but based on the discussion here, all I can conclude is that it’s to early to decide whether or not Loom would be a good fit/replacement for coroutines.
