I don't think Golang devs are waiting to switch to Java if only making a lot of threads was easier. Honestly, its way too early. Virtual Threads will need a a "killer app" (in this case a killer framework) to pull in devs.

Like Helidon Nima, Micronaut, Quarkus or recently, Spring?

  I haven't really used or heard of the others but Spring was already quite good and you really didn't need to think about threads very much. This might help some benchmarks but, again, who is pining for "Spring but with more threads?" I'm thinking something that would be a clear differentiater such as a multithreaded GUI framework.

The great thing about virtual threads is they're basically a drop in replacement for threads.

  For cases that are IO bound yes. Threads still have their place (another thing that golang doesn't have).
