> Green threads are different. The memory of a green thread is allocated on the heap. But all of this comes with a cost: As they aren't managed by the OS, they can't take advantage of multiple cores inherently. But for I/O-bound operations, they are a good fit.
this is clearly not true? Am I missing some nuance here, as I'm sure the author knows what they're talking about?
Green threads can totally use a multi-threaded runtime, like e.g. Go does, and it works just fine. The main hurdle with them is arguably FFI.
