Re:Quasar/Pulsar 0.7.0 Released: Kotlin and More Clojure

(#9628461)
from Kotlin's blog
" ...now Quasar provides fibers (lightweight threads), Go-like channels, Erlang-like actors, and other asynchronous tools..."
Getting these capabilities available for Android development in a reasonably lightweight (unlike Scala and Clojure) package that Kotlin offers -- is a big deal, in my view.
Android support for the combination of Kotlin+Quasar not there yet (as Quasar is planning android support nxt ".. It didn’t make the cut for 0.7.0, but Android support is next on our major feature list. "
I am guessing here, but unlikely these async features are available for Kotlin-JS, which means that clojurescript is still more capable that Kotlin in these areas.
