Learning Concurrency in Kotlin

Single thread context

This dispatcher guarantees that, at all times, the coroutine is executed in a specific thread. To create a dispatcher of this type you have to use newSingleThreadContext():

fun main(args: Array<String>) = runBlocking {    val dispatcher = newSingleThreadContext("myThread")    launch(dispatcher) {        println("Starting in ${Thread.currentThread().name}")        delay(500)        println("Resuming in ${Thread.currentThread().name}")    }.join()}

This will always execute in that same thread, even after any suspensions:
