Of course they do. There are loads of appropriate applications. Heck, people still run CGI programs unironically.
- sgift 3y agoAnd if your use case allows it it is a great model. Easy to setup, easy to debug, easy to run. Also, why I love the new virtual threads in Java. Will they work as good as hoped? No idea. Probably not for all use cases. But the direction to say: You know what, threads are great to program and debug compared to the alternatives, maybe let's find a way to make their performance better instead of putting up with async , is so refreshing.
