[Swift-devel] Fwd: [Dsl-seminar] Go

[Mihael Hategan]

List of languages with co-routines:

Languages supporting continuations (which are more powerful than
coroutines, and probably what you are looking for):

I call your attention to Scala, for it's java library support (and being
a JVM language in general).

And here's a paper on how continuations are implemented in Scala, which
also contains a few examples of how to use continuations for concurrency
and scalable I/O:
