You are absolutely right about the history (Conway coined the term in '63!). The assembly stack-switching you mentioned is the classic "Stackful" approach (like Fibers or Boost.Context). C++20 went the "Stackless" route (compiler-generated state machines) to avoid the per-stack memory overhead, though it certainly makes the implementation mechanics trickier. Lua is definitely a gold standard for asymmetric coroutines. As for Felix—I actually wasn't familiar with it until you mentioned it. Thanks for the pointer! I'll definitely dig into their docs to see how they handle scheduling compared to the C++20 approach.

BTW what happened to your baby wireshark ?

Also, do you use ChatGPT to frame your responses ? Nothing wrong if you do, but people might notice the tone and wonder.

Haha, you have a really sharp eye! 1. The Baby Wireshark: Unfortunately, my previous GitHub account got flagged/shadowbanned (still not sure why, and the appeal didn't work), so I lost access to that repo. I had to start fresh with this new account. 2. The Tone: You caught me! English is not my first language. I do use LLMs to help polish my grammar because I want to ensure my technical points are clear and I don't accidentally sound rude due to language barriers. Also, I learned most of my English from reading technical documentation and watching TED talks, so my "default" style tends to be a bit formal—just like an AI! :)
