If Loom isn't adding cancellation tokens to the core library then its going to be a major difference. That said, the Java way was already for runnables to cancel themselves with some kind of volatile cancel bool so I expect that's all we'll get. From the article: >Clearly the intent is also to cancel the child thread. And this is exactly what happens. I find this to be a bold choice. In C# you can detach children and such. Should be interesting to see if this gets added later.
