L14: Suspension and Concurrency Scopes

Lesson in Preparation (WIP)

This lesson is currently undergoing pedagogical drafting and development. It will soon be available with detailed visual diagrams, in-depth explanations, and its corresponding milestone in the AI Chat CLI incremental lab.

What will you learn in this lesson?

In this lesson we will explore:

• Deep Theory: suspend functions, Job lifecycle, coroutine builders (launch, async/await), coroutineScope, and cooperative cancellation checking isActive / yield.
• Under the Hood: Compiler transformation to State Machines (Continuation Passing Style - CPS) and the hidden Continuation<T> parameter.
• Incremental Lab (AI Chat CLI): Building a concurrent “AI is typing…” console animation that renders smoothly alongside incoming response streams.
