In Kotlin for instance you can run your coroutines with different "dispatchers", which have different behaviors. You can for instance use a dispatcher with multiple threads in a threadpool, run it in the main thread, a specific thread, in threads with low/high priority etc. Basically allowing you to write code using the async/coroutine paradigm, but then control its execution from the outside.

I'm not very experienced with Kotlin, but that sounds similar to python's run_in_executor [1]
