基于 Kotlin 协程实现异步编程

在QCon北京2018大会上，Roman Elizarov 讲师做了《基于 Kotlin 协程实现异步编程》主题演讲，主要内容如下。

演讲简介：

开发者越来越关注异步编程。现代软件系统都互相连接，保持通信。很多编程语言都加入了某种形式的异步支持，如 async/await。不过 Kotlin 用协程（coroutine）新颖地解决了这个问题。

我们一起看看基于 futures/promises 的传统 async/await 方式存在的问题，解释 Kotlin 基于 coroutine 和 continuation 概念提供的解决方案，从而了解为什么说 Kotlin 的编程模型更安全、更容易。

Asynchronous programming is on the rise. Modern software systems are connected and constantly communicating. Programming languages are adding some form of asynchronous programming like async/await. However, Kotlin had taken a fresh approach to this problem with Kotlin Coroutines.

In this talk, we’ll study various approaches to asynchronous programming, their evolution, differences and similarities. We’ll see the problem with the traditional async/await approach that is based on futures/promises and how the Kotlin’s solution that is based on concepts of coroutines and continuations is giving us safer and easier programming model.
