Stealing a line from from https://github.com/l3nz/SlicedBread https://github.com/l3nz/SlicedBread - "..the over 400 rich pages of 'Java concurrency in practice'

  Heh, I wasn't even thinking of that one as the relevant reference, though it's valid. I was thinking of "Concurrent Programming in Java" as it comes from the horse's mouth, but that one is also close to 400 pages. I don't even try to think about concurrent designs too much at work and sometimes feel guilty about it. Occasionally I'll use or suggest someone use a CompleteableFuture, but there is so much code and irrelevant detail compared to Clojure's "wrap body in (future), done". On the other hand some more junior devs have expressed lack of interest in studying concurrency at all since "we don't really work on concurrent or distributed systems", at which point I have to point out that as a company we serve a giant web application with API entry points from multiple bits of hardware with clients all over making concurrent requests... The road is long.
