Author of Kotlin Coroutine Confidence

Very excited about this one. I think it has the potential to change a lot of Kotlin APIs for the better. I’ll be interested to see how coroutines change, in particular! Right now, we often have to pass around a CoroutineScope object to provide structured concurrency. Context parameters could provide a new way to do that with less friction.
