Virtual threads are being proposed for Java, in an effort to dramatically reduce the effort required to write, maintain, and observe high-throughput concurrent applications. A draft JDK ...

Java virtual threads are much lighter and more efficient than traditional operating system threads, and excel at handling blocking operations. Unfortunately, despite their advantages, virtual threads ...

Java could gain a capability for sharing immutable data across threads, based on a plan now under consideration in the OpenJDK realm. An OpenJDK proposal for extent-local variables, currently an ...

JDK 21's virtual threads are a major leap forward for Java's concurrency model. Previously, Java relied on OS threads, which were resource-heavy, limiting how many threads could run concurrently.
