Testability is one of the most important advantages of Kotlin Coroutines. It supports virtual time, which lets us write precise, fast, and deterministic tests for cases that are hard to test with other libraries. You can easily check any scenario and assert time.

Kotlin creators plan to add another special kind of class: dataarg classes will be used to define function parameters. This will greatly support library creators who need to maintain functions with multiple optional parameters, especially those repeated in different functions.
