I actually feel it would be successful because it exactly fits the ecosystem. A lot of Java code is classical threaded code. E.g. the majority of Java servlet code, and older web frameworks. Those would all immediately benefit from Loom in terms of resource utilization and scalability.

Of course Java also has some frameworks like Netty and things built on top of it - which won't benefit. But I feel like even though those are great from a performance point of view, they are actually more niche in the overall java world.
