I usually use task.spawn to make a new thread, but sometimes coroutine.wrap. My scripting inconsistent made me realize, what’s the difference between task.spawn and coroutines?

Coroutines you can stop and start with the script, but task.spawn will just run until all the code has been executed.

There isnt really a difference, but spawn() has a built in wait() into it before the code within it executes. Whereas coroutine executions are instantaneous.
And like @Orbular3 said. You can stop and resume a coroutine. You cannot with spawn()

Any difference performance wise?
spawn() (or the new task.spawn()) will fire code immediately.
spawn() is deprecated, and task.spawn() should be used to enhance performance
overall, there isn’t a performance difference, coroutines fire code alongside a thread, task.spawn does it with the engine sheduler.
