gollark: I've written```Coroutines are Lua's way of handling concurrency - running multiple things "at once". They act somewhat similarly to threads on computers, except coroutines must explicitly transfer control back to their parent - only one is actually run at any given time. This is what [[coroutine.yield]] does. Many things internally use [[coroutine.yield]], such as [[os.pullEvent]], [[sleep]] and anything else which waits for events.You can create a coroutine with [[coroutine.create]] - pass it a function and it will return a coroutine. This coroutine will initially not be running (use [[coroutine.status]] to check its status - it should show "suspended")See also [http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial the Lua users' wiki].```so far, but I'm really not too great at documentation...
gollark: We should put it up *somewhere*.
gollark: How do I add an offsite link?
gollark: You could just make a page for them now.
gollark: Would it be useful to add general coroutine examples or does that go elsewhere?
