Coroutines are similar to -threads but don't run in parallel. +Coro started as a simple module that implemented a specific form of first class +continuations called Coroutines. These basically allow you to capture the +current point execution and jump to another point, while allowing you to return +at any time, as kind of non-local jump, not unlike C's setjmp/longjmp. This is +nowadays known as a Coro::State. -In this module, coroutines are defined as "callchain + lexical variables -+ @_ + $_ + $@ + $^W + C stack), that is, a coroutine has its own -callchain, its own set of lexicals and its own set of perl's most -important global variables. +One natural application for these is to include a scheduler, resulting in +cooperative threads, which is the main use case for Coro today. Still, much of +the documentation and custom refers to these threads as "coroutines" or often +just "coros". + +A thread is very much like a stripped-down perl interpreter, or a process: +Unlike a full interpreter process, a thread doesn't have its own variable or +code namespaces - everything is shared. That means that when one thread modifies +a variable (or any value, e.g. through a reference), then other threads +immediately see this change when they look at the same variable or location.
