Yes they can co-exist. A co-routine is a state machine simplification
by expressing the state machine as multiple state machines. Nothing more.
Threads is parallel execution of machines.
The semantics might not always be meaningful if you mix them too hard but
in terms of one calling the other a co-routine based app is identical to
a single threaded app
