On: Virtual Threads for a scripting language in Java 8 without Loom

Ah, I had virtual threads in Java 8 back in the day. I believe it still works.

Check Kilim: https://github.com/kilim/kilim

Another project worth checking would be Quasar (and had virtual threads in 2013):

But I believe the author moved to a Big Corp which sells databases, working on some big project which took all his time...

LOL, the person you are talking about is Project lead for Loom in OpenJDK.

Well, that was the joke. If you're reading this, hi Ron!
