> Now even Java has cheap threads

If by "cheap threads" you mean M:N threads a.k.a. fibers/green threads, Java had that on Solaris well before Go.



That's not even remotely the same thing as the current virtual threads, that automagically turn (many kind of) blocking IO into non-blocking.


If "automagically" means "the way Golang does it" then that's kinda the whole point of M:N threads/fibers.


My point was that green threads are not at all the same as virtual threads.
