[early access] Project Loom vs Kotlin Coroutines - Urs Peter @ Kotlin Dev
Day Amsterdam 2021 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JZeHG71nZA> 

 

If people have not seen this, I really recommend it, especially the end
where he compares Loom with Kotlin Coroutines.

 

One demo he ran seemed to suggest the Kotlin Coroutines were about 3 or 4
times faster, possibly 3 or 4 times the throughput., so it will be
interesting to see if Loom improves performance.

 

He also suggested that Kotlin Structured Concurrency was better than Loom,
so it will also be interesting to see how that shakes out.

 

He also pointed out where Loom is better than Kotlin, and that Kotlin
Coroutines will be refactored after Loom is released.

 

Cheers, Eric
