While 'async' is just a name, underneath it's epoll - and the virtual threads would not perform better than a proper NIO (epoll) server. I dont consider myself an 'async expert' but I have my share of writing NIO code (dare say not terrible at all)

Virtual threads literally replace the “blocking” IO call issued by the user, by a proper NIO call, mounting the issuer virtual thread when it signals.
