I disagree.
Java's concurrency features are extremely rich. Parallel stream are basically magic: I add .parallel() and pow, near-linear speedups. No channels, no select statements, no realising I messed up a mutex somewhere. It just works.
Then there's reactive programming. The JVM can chew through truly absurd amounts of requests when a reactive approach is taken.
