Project Loom: The Future of Java Concurrency

What is Project Loom?

Project Loom is a new Java concurrency framework that makes it easier for developers to write concurrent and parallel code. It introduces fibers, lightweight threads that are cheaper to create and manage than traditional threads, and support for continuations, which allow developers to pause the execution of a fiber and resume it at a later time.

How can Project Loom improve my Java applications?

One of the key benefits of Project Loom is that it can help improve the performance and scalability of Java applications. With Project Loom, you can use many more fibers concurrently, which can be especially useful in applications that need to process a large number of tasks or handle a high volume of requests.

Where can I get Project Loom?

Project Loom is currently available as part of Spring Framework 6, the latest version of the popular Java application development framework. This means that developers using Spring Framework 6 can take advantage of Project Loom to improve the performance and scalability of their applications.

Loom is aimed squarely at the problem reactive programming was invented to solve: Spring WebFlux vs Spring MVC lays out what that trade-off costs today. For the other end of JVM performance, see GraalVM.
