“This library will become part of the Mono 2.6 release.
Mono.Tasklets is the Mono-team supported mechanism for doing
continuations, microthreading and coroutines in the ISO CLI. It is
based on Tomi Valkeinen’s excellent work on co-routines for Mono.

“Unlike the work that we typically do in Mono which is pure C#
and will work out of the box in .NET (even our Mono.SIMD code will
work on .NET, it will just run a lot slower) Mono.Tasklets requires
changes to the VM that are not portable to other ISO CLI
implementations.”
