Multiple approaches to scalable concurrency are used in various programming languages: using OS threads, asynchronous programming styles (“reactive”), syntactic stackless coroutines (async/await), and user-mode threads (fibres). This talk will explore the problem, explain why Java has chosen user-mode threads to tackle it, and compare the various approaches and the tradeoffs they entail. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?
