Excellent execution, and very cool idea.
Somewhat in jest let me say, "People are complaining that JavaScript is a terrible language. Great, let's put Java in the browser." Now we have an even worse language to code in for the browser.

- vesinisa 10y agoAs I understand the Doppio paper, they just simulate JVM threads in synchronous JavaScript. So there does not seem to be added performance benefit at least. It's still a very neat hack, though! https://plasma-umass.github.io/doppio-demo/paper.pdf https://plasma-umass.github.io/doppio-demo/paper.pdf
