- Expected effect (from our JVM micro‑benchmarks): in deep call loops, enabling pooling reduced total time by about 1.38× in a dedicated pooling benchmark; mileage may vary depending on workload.
Future work: introduce thread‑safe pooling (e.g., per‑thread pools or confinement strategies) before considering enabling it by default in multi‑threaded environments.
### Closures inside coroutine helpers (launch/flow)
Closures executed by `launch { ... }` and `flow { ... }` resolve names using the `ClosureScope` rules:
1. Closure frame locals/arguments
2. Captured receiver instance/class members
3. Closure ancestry locals + each frame’s `this` members (cycle‑safe)
4. Caller `this` members
5. Caller ancestry locals + each frame’s `this` members (cycle‑safe)
6. Module pseudo‑symbols (e.g., `__PACKAGE__`)
7. Direct module/global fallback (nearest `ModuleScope` and its parent/root)
Implications:
- Outer locals (e.g., `counter`) stay visible across suspension points.
- Global helpers like `delay(ms)` and `yield()` are available from inside closures.
- If you write your own async helpers, execute user lambdas under `ClosureScope(callScope, capturedCreatorScope)` and avoid manual ancestry walking.
