Coroutines in JDK8++?

[Mark Roos]

HI Martijn

The only invokeDynamic Smalltalk on the jvm which I am aware of is mine (I 
call it Rtalk for now).
There are other Smalltalks on the jvm but they are cross compilers or 
interpreters.

Rtalk was the subject of a paper at last years JVM Language Symposium
