If you use a Dijkstraesque title like this one, you should either be a recognized expert on the subject yourself or at least cite some articles that support your statement. Using it to promote your "better" concurrency library smells like clickbait...

EDIT: Ok, I stand corrected, this seems to be an influential article. But the title still smells like clickbait to me (especially because it singles out a well-known statement of a well-known language that has concurrency as one of its main selling points when it actually refers to using all types of threads - "green" or not)...

Did you just request the Argument from Authority fallacy?

> at least cite some articles that support your statement

This is the article. Others can cite it.


Well, so far the article is probably the main reason why structured concurrency is being added to both Java and Kotlin.


Yeah this random blog post from 2018 is definitely why Oracle started Project Loom in 2017.


I didn't say it started Project Loom I'm saying this article is one of the main reasons structured concurrency is being made part of project Loom.

A link to this particular article have literally been on every project Loom slide coming out of Oracle for the last two years. You can watch Ron Pressler talk about it himself here [1].
