from Kotlin's blog " ...now Quasar provides fibers (lightweight threads), Go-like channels, Erlang-like actors, and other asynchronous tools..."

Getting these capabilities available for Android development in a reasonably lightweight (unlike Scala and Clojure) package that Kotlin offers -- is a big deal, in my view. Android support for the combination of Kotlin+Quasar not there yet (as Quasar is planning android support nxt ".. It didn’t make the cut for 0.7.0, but Android support is next on our major feature list. "

I am guessing here, but unlikely these async features are available for Kotlin-JS, which means that clojurescript is still more capable that Kotlin in these areas.
