Coroutines are an advanced topic,
you can solve about all problems you ecounter in DarkSpace scripts without the usage of coroutines. In some cases it leads to a better design when using coroutines though.
There is just one drawback, error handing using pcall. It just doesn't work that well with coroutines.

pcall seems to me like it should only be used in rare cases to probe for specific conditions, or as sort of a top level exception handler.
what i was thinking about the coroutines was that they might provide a way for ai agents to interoperate on an atomic operation level.
