Yeah, the Java platform is moving toward:

* Lightweight concurrency models (actors, fork/join)
* Functional models (closures)

Coroutines fit *perfectly* into both areas as pausable/resumable units
of work or for supporting pausable/resumable functions and closures.

Java 8 should be the "functional concurrency" release, and coro should
go along with that.
