Virtual Threads: Strengths and Pitfalls
Over the past 30 years, Java struggled to find the best approach to working with threads, adopting thread pools, non-blocking concurrency, and reactive programming. One year ago Java 21 introduced Virtual Threads, one of the most awaited language improvements in the language history. The ad goes: massive concurrency with cheap threads without the cognitive load required by callbacks, or reactive programming. However, there are some dark tenets and best practices you need to learn to be on top of this paradigm shift that challenges our old, entrenched habits.
