Me too. I read through the presentation above, it it seems to
describe pretty much exactly what we called co-routines both in
school and in the workplace.
Back when I worked on one of the first hand-held cellular
mobile phones, it used co-routines where the number of
coroutines was fixed at 2 (one for each register set in a Z80
CPU). The semantics seem to be identical to the coroutines
described in the presentation.
