Virtual Threads, Structured Concurrency and Scoped Values in Java 25 and Beyond

on YouTube ↗02h 43m

" summary

The talk explains Project Loom features in Java 21–26: virtual threads (lightweight Java-thread objects that let code block on I/O without hurting scalability, with a Java 24 fix for synchronized-block I/O perf), Scoped Values (replacement for ThreadLocal, finalized in Java 25), and Structured Concurrency (reworked in Java 25 and still preview in Java 26). It gives detailed examples, code patterns, and notes known future evolutions of Loom.
