Untangled - Sneak Peek at Project Loom

Explore Project Loom's revolutionary approach to lightweight concurrency in the JVM through this Devoxx conference talk. Dive into the world of concurrent programming, unraveling concepts like fibers, threads, and coroutines. Examine code samples, learn about Loom's inception and recent prototypes, and discover how it aims to transform the JVM beyond simple primitives. Investigate CPU utilization, thread creation, visual DVM, system calls, and context switching. Compare first and second implementations, exploring topics such as service threads, socket channel API, asynchronous circuits, and handling multiple clients efficiently. Delve into continuations, asynchronous programming, and structured concurrency. Gain insights into Quasar as an alternative solution while awaiting Loom's official release.
