Project Loom is a game changer. At least as big as Java's original JVM w/ GC combo.
(Ya, ya, ya Java wasn't the first. But somehow Java 1.0 got mindshare. And this time Java's got a massive installed base and ecosystem, greatly increasing the likelihood for Project Loom's adoption.)
- cogman10 5y agoAgreed. IMO, Loom + a lot of the startup improvements will make Go somewhat obsolete compared to the JVM. The JVM developers have pretty quickly closed the gap. Where java was a poor container choice, it's become pretty nice.
