Channels in Kotlin Coroutines
Have you ever wondered how channels in Kotlin coroutines work under the hood? Recently, we redesigned their implementation, significantly improving performance and memory footprint. This talk will introduce the high-level design of the underlying algorithms. You will learn the semantics of rendezvous and buffered channels, how they are implemented, and what influenced this implementation.
