    They were called green as well as "M:N" threads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_thread#Green_threads_in_the_Java_virtual_machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_thread#Green_threads_in_...

      https://a.co/d/2hw5NSv https://a.co/d/2hw5NSv Solaris Internals has the greatest explanation of this that I knew, including what you said.

      Green used to mean non-preemptive; which is not the case here, or for Golang or Erlang (afaik). M:N is all about resource usage, the semantics are mostly the same as OS threads.
