And the importance of this first class support cannot be overstated. It means: - meaningful complete stacktraces - debugger support - all blocking libraries get the benefits of async code automatically [1] - all monitoring features of the platform work - profilers get more useful again - less mental overhead when programming, i.e. simplicity [1]: With one caveat: Libraries which call directly into blocking native calls do not become async automatically. But they are very rare on the Java platform.
