Virtual Threads in Java - Ron Veen, David Vlijmincx

Ron Veen and David Vlijmincx have presented the politics of the Java threading model with the help of Project Loom in this course, “Virtual Threads in Java.” They explain the shortcomings of the classical threads that Java developers have used for years and show why virtual threads would be a better solution. Some of the problems include the consumption of resources and the increasing inconvenience of handling many threads, which virtual threads tackle effectively.

The unnamed course is “Virtual Threads in Java,” which covers what is happening under the hood in terms of the mechanics of virtual threads. You will gain knowledge about such key concepts as blocking, mounting, and unmounting which are instrumental in how fragments control tasks. The presenters also illustrate to you how they can be created through constructors or builder methods or in some new executor services, and then it will be quite convenient to use them in the projects.

Furthermore, the course also covers the demerits of virtual threads and how they can be adopted. The article “Virtual Threads in Java” describes situations in which virtual threads are inefficient and can cause performance problems and advises on how to recognize such problems. At the end of the class, you will know when to use virtual threads and when not to, along with their pros and cons.
