Project Loom JumpStart

There is a new way of Threading on it's way to Java, and that means it is time to prepare. Project Loom will be introducing Java Virtual Threads which are small Threads meant to perform quick operations with the need of procuring long-running OS threads which can prove to be expensive. In this class we will learn how to use these threads, what does it mean in relationship with the rest of the Java API, what does it mean for third party libraries.

  2. Creating and Using a Virtual Thread
  3. What will Loom's Virtual Threads do to Futures
  4. What is a Fiber
  5. What is a Continuation?
