I'm coming into this late so maybe I don't get it. But aren't coroutines
basically busted from the start?
Long ago I did a coroutine system and it was really pleasant, it was the
first place I wrote swtch() (the context switch code that every real
hacker has to write), but it was all a waste of time.
Why? Because the threads blocked on IO. Is that true with the tcl
coroutines? If it is, aren't they kind of a joke compared to threads
that handle IO?
