Coroutines Beyond Concurrency
summary
Shows coroutines used beyond async: a 100k-coroutines demo proves cheap creation, and sequence builders in the standard library implement laziness by storing a continuation and returning COROUTINE_SUSPENDED. Deep recursion utilities turn recursive calls into a loop to avoid stack overflow. A parser-combinator library Parsus is built on the low-level continuation API (no kotlinx dependency), making parsers debuggable without code generation and working for arbitrarily deep inputs. It actually compiles and runs.
