Java’s thread model makes it a strong contender among concurrent languages, but multithreading has always been inherently tricky. Structured concurrency allows you to use multiple threads with ...

There is no need to learn a new programming model to use virtual threads, the proposal states. Developers who use Java to write concurrent applications already know the model.

The Java 11 and Java 21 codes are available on the SimpleVirtualThreads repository with instructions to run the comparison in both Java 11 and Java 21 containers. Putting it all together: Virtual ...

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.

Virtual threads, revealed in Java's Project Loom and generally available with the Java 21 LTS, promise unparalleled scalability, simplified asynchronous coding and more efficient resource utilization.
