Very nice!

Just a minor nitpick (for those who care about the details of OpenJDK's development): virtual threads are not Project Loom, but rather one of the JEPs contributed to the JDK by Project Loom. There are two in JDK 19 (425 and 428), another in advanced stages (429), and there will probably be more. OpenJDK Projects aren't features but teams working on producing features focused on some area and then offering them to the JDK.

Thanks for clearing that up. Would adding a "from" be sufficient?

and it uses Virtual Threads (“Project Loom”) by default

Yeah, from Project Loom (no need for quotes) would be better, but even the current usage has become colloquial and is okay. :)
