- ScopedValue doesn't have a direct equivalent in Kotlin, but CoroutineContext.Element and ThreadContextElement inside of CoroutineContext serve the same purpose. I really think Kotlin overcomplicated this idea.
- Record Patterns are stronger than Kotlins smart cast because of nested patterns
- Kotlin Coroutines works exclusively with Structured Concurrency already. The JEP just adds a way to use Structured Concurrency with threads (it can also be used in Kotlin if you use pure Threads(virtual or not), but I don't see any reason not to use Coroutines
