" summary

Argues that paradigm shifts take decades and makes a concrete case that Java is about to move from heavy multithreading to asynchronous programming, showing JavaScript generators, Java 8 streams with lazy evaluation, Kotlin suspend/launch coroutines and Project Loom prototypes that combine continuations + fibers. Presents runnable-like code snippets, explains tuples/closures as continuations, cites a 3–5 year horizon for adoption and ties composability plus laziness to real performance benefits.
