This written with the focus on the game development audience, but I'm really excited for green threads to be coming full circle on Java with Loom. (Green threads were in Java 1.1 then were quickly removed in favor of Native Threads) As a lot of the work described in the article are handled once in the JVM instead of each application dealing with it separately. Debugging tools that already work with it (except UI displays not used to displaying 1000's of threads at once). Still have to deal with the normal concurrency issues you always have, but how you approach them in the language isn't really any different then you have in the past. https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/loom https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/loom
