Where Promises Fall Short

Explore the evolution of asynchronous programming across different platforms in this keynote presentation. Dive into the world of multithreading, callbacks, promises, and async-await, comparing their implementations in Java, JavaScript, and .NET. Examine the three options available on the JVM: multithreading APIs, CompletableFuture, and Virtual Threads (Project Loom). Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, gaining clarity on when and where to use specific APIs for optimal problem-solving. Uncover the intricacies of these programming paradigms to make informed decisions in your asynchronous programming endeavors.
