RE: Virtual Threads

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out.

 

Its yet another acknowledgement from the Java community that native threads are not the panacea that they are marketed to be.

For example the polyglot VertX framework which I have used heavily relies on a event loop (Reactor/Multi Reactor pattern) instead.

 

Its interesting, but I just don’t see how much they are going to add to the game i.e. perhaps at best Java user’s will get what Smalltalk has been doing right for eons yet they still have to code in Java 😊

Subject: [vwnc] Virtual Threads

 

Hi,

 

                I was attending yesterday a talk on the Java Loom project, which aims at implementing virtual threads (instead of OS threads) in Java.

                In particular I learned that any Java thread allocates 2M in memory, which limits considerably the physical number of threads in a server.

                Does anyone know the comparison between Smalltalk processes and Java virtual threads ?
