Virtual threads are nice but they don't cover the same use cases as async and coroutines. Loom will make embarrassingly parallel workloads seamless but it won't give you structured concurrency. That does require a different programming model as seen in this very release.
Should be interesting to see what shakes out of all this. When you need structured concurrency, imo async and coroutines are nicer than what fork/join and what Java has so far.
