Kraków Kotlin User Group: How Java is Finally Fixing Concurrency (almost)

Short notice, but opportunities like this do not come around every day 🙂

This Wednesday at 18:00, we are inviting you to the VirtusLab office at Szlak 49 for a Kotlin Kraków User Group meetup with a special guest: Wout Werkman from JetBrains, who will only be in Kraków briefly and kindly agreed to also join our community.

Talk title:
How Java is Finally Fixing Concurrency (almost)
Java has created multiple abstractions that have made concurrency more attractive. Starting with executor pools and `Future`s to make concurrency cheaper. And nowadays even virtual threads to make blocking cheaper.

However, the complexity of concurrency is still there. And that’s for the stay right?

Yes, and no! That’s where structured concurrency comes in!
In this talk we learn how structured concurrency is another step in limiting the complexity of concurrency using a custom built visual debugger. After this, we talk about what is still missing, and what you, as the Java community, can do to help.

If you are interested in modern Java, concurrency, and the direction the ecosystem is heading, this is definitely a session worth joining.

Wednesday, 18:00
VirtusLab office, Szlak 49, Kraków
See you there!
