I don't know anything about the JVM and my experience with JVM-based languages is incredibly limited, but isn't that the essence of the Loom Project? https://d

  Yes, however, the Loom project is still some years away and the Java standard library will need to be extensively revamped to support this. I see this easily a decade in the future.

    They have been rewamping the Java standard library slowly and silently over the last couple of years in anticipation for Loom. With Java 14 they re-wrote the tcp socket class. In Java 15 they're re-implementing the udp socket class. These re-implementations are being done to support loom seamlessly in a future update. They also collaborated with IntelliJ to find bugs related to debugging Java apps, to make sure Loom doesn't break anything there. Loom is well underway. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Loom in Java 19 or 20. So in 2-3 years.

      The next LTS version of Java is planneed to to be Java 21 (fall 2021, numbers a coincidence) and my presumption is they are trying to get it into that.

      Hell, I just used loom last night on some pet projects. You can use it today if you dare.
