Stackless coroutines are arguably pretty serializable, since they are (usually) implemented by bundling all the relevant data into a struct. There’s no a priori reason that couldn’t be serialized, thiugh I admit I cannot think of an example I’ve seen it used.

We use it at work to send FSMs over the network for distributing tasks. Admittedly we always do this with continuations that haven't started yet, but there is no technical reason we couldn't serialize the already started ones (although you'd have to make sure you also send the coroutines you are currently awaiting on.)
