Abstract
Coroutines are built into Modula-2 so that it may be used to write interrupt handlers, runtime systems, event driven programs, and even complete operating systems. Coroutines are a primitive concept. They allow programmers to manage situations where several things are (or appear to be, or are best thought of as) happening simultaneously.
