Here are the list of supported libraries [1]. > even concurrency strategies added late in a language's lifecycle Quasar code uses a regular Java Exception as a trick to stop execution and unmount, to sort of piggyback on the language features. Fibers do also implement the Thread interface; I think what you pointed at was indeed a concern of the author. I don't know how the Loom initiative look like. If you want to see how a library is adapted, here is JDBC [2].
