Untangled - Sneak Peek at Project Loom

Explore the world of concurrent programming in this 29-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Unravel the intricacies of Project Loom, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at introducing lightweight concurrency mechanisms to the JVM. Delve into the interconnected concepts of fibers, threads, lightweight-threads, green threads, and coroutines. Witness code samples that demonstrate the practical applications of these concepts. Gain insights into Project Loom's origins and recent prototypes, and discover how its impact extends far beyond simple primitives, potentially revolutionizing the JVM. Learn about Quasar as an interim solution while awaiting Project Loom's full implementation. By the end of this talk, gain a comprehensive understanding of the future of concurrent programming in Java and its potential to transform software development.
