| Feb 12, 2021 at 18:40 | comment | added | davidbak | I'm glad you mentioned coroutines. That's where I would have gone if I hadn't gone to interrupts. I think they're both examples of "multithreading" within a single address space. And coroutines too are a very early invention - late 1950s apparently. | |
