Introduction and Pitfalls of Java's New Concurrency Model

Explore Java's new concurrency model in this 38-minute conference talk from NDC's Copenhagen Developer's Festival. Dive into the preview of virtual threads and structured concurrency introduced in Java 20, which revolutionizes multithreading in Java. Learn how this new approach aims to simplify reactive Java and make blocking threads more efficient, allowing for thousands of lightweight virtual threads. Discover the potential for high-throughput applications and new programming paradigms on the Java platform. Gain practical insights on implementing virtual threads and managing them with structured concurrency, while also receiving valuable advice on avoiding common pitfalls when integrating these features into your applications.
