Spawn function vs coroutine. Which is better?

[alexfinger21 (pro)]

Hello! As my question states, which is better to use, spawn functions, or coroutines? Which is faster and more efficient?

Coroutine is considered to be better since it doesn’t have a yield. If you need a yield tho before the function runs, you can use spawn().

Many topics talk about this, notably this one which should be a waterfall of information:

Coroutines V.S. Spawn()... Which one should I use?

The title says it all… Basically I want to know in what scenarios I should use: spawn(function() -- Script end) And what scenarios I should use: local thing = coroutine.create(function() -- Script end) coroutine.resume(thing) So… When is it best to use spawn(function() and when it is best to use coroutines?
