What makes you think that Kotlin should be mentioned? Especially since concurrency in Kotlin is really not great, compared to concurrency in Erlang or Scala.

I'm not familiar with concurrency in Erlang or Scala, could you explain how it differs from the approach in Kotlin (which I know)?

I've posted above how Scala's IO/Task is different from C#/Kotlin async-await.

I hope you will find it helpful.

For starters, because the concurrency story in Kotlin is also built on the structured concurrency idea.

Well, Kotlin is not the only language. :)

The same is true for Scala and other languages. Languages that even existed before Kotlin.
