Coroutine vs JVM thread

Hi there,

You might have worked with kotlin's coroutine by now and possibility is, you may have an impression that it is a form of light-weight thread.

I was curious to know it's internal working, how it is light-weight compared to JVM thread and any hidden advantages which I was unaware of.

I dug into framework + read some articles, and wrote a blog where I describe how beneficial Kotlin coroutines are over JVM threads.

If this concept interests you then please give it a read. I hope it is fruitful.
