Structured Concurrency: Managing Hierarchical Cancellation and Error Handling

Explore the concept of Structured Concurrency and its approach to managing hierarchical cancellation and error handling in concurrent programming. Compare different implementations in Java, Kotlin, and Scala, including those with and without Project Loom. Learn how Structured Concurrency simplifies fan-out and fan-in use cases, such as races, and facilitates easier management of sub-task cancellation and error handling. Discover the seamless integration of Scoped Values with Structured Concurrency, enabling efficient propagation of contextual information across concurrency boundaries without explicit parameter passing. This 50-minute Devoxx conference talk provides valuable insights into various concurrency approaches and their respective methods for handling cancellation and errors.
