The new Virtual Threads of Java: A Peek at What's Looming
Venkat Subramaniam
FOUNDER @ AGILE DEVELOPER, INC.
01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION
Threads are considered lightweight but that's quite relative and in some context it appears to be rather heavyweight. The blocking nature of threads makes it rather unsuitable for asynchronous programming. That's the reason Java is introducing Virtual Threads.
In this presentation we will discuss the deficiencies of the current Thread infrastructure and, using practical examples, see how the virtual threads provide a much better model for asynchronous programming.
