Explore the groundbreaking work of Project Loom in this 50-minute Devoxx conference talk by Ron Pressler, technical lead for OpenJDK's Project Loom. Dive into the world of lightweight threads and continuations being added to the JDK to revolutionize concurrent application development on the Java platform. Understand the limitations of traditional blocking IO operations and the scalability issues with OS kernel threads. Learn how Project Loom aims to provide a lightweight implementation of threads in the runtime, preserving the natural abstraction of imperative programming while addressing the challenges of modern concurrent applications. Discover the concepts of fibers and structured concurrency, and gain insights into the unique challenges of implementing lightweight threads in the JVM. Get a comprehensive overview of why this approach is considered optimal for the JDK and how it can transform the landscape of asynchronous programming in Java.
