IMO, they are focusing on the right thing here. Getting a good virtual thread API GA will be paramount in the decisions around scheduling and continuations in the future.

Maybe a little disappointing for low level nuts and other languages like kotlin, but the right move IMO. Virtual threads alone will be a huge benefit to the ecosystem. The other stuff will help, but won't have near the same impact.

Agreed. And the pluggable scheduling is still a key part of it, just doesn’t need to be a thing to get right out of the gate. I’m honestly mega excited that Loom is even a real thing that exists and that you can use.
