Java's Project Loom: Revolutionizing Concurrency with Virtual Threads and Structured Tasks
Project Loom introduces virtual threads to Java, enabling efficient concurrent programming. It allows creation of millions of lightweight threads, ideal for I/O-heavy tasks. Structured concurrency simplifies managing related tasks. Loom changes traditional concurrency patterns, making thread pools less necessary. It's particularly useful for scaling web servers and handling numerous connections simultaneously.
