> It's foolish to say that green threads are strictly better and ignore async/await as something outdated

I’m not sure I said outdated, but I can see what you mean by how I called Javas approach “more modern”. What I should have called Javas approach was “correctly designed”.

C#’s async/await isn’t all terrible as you point out, but it’s designed wrong from the bottom up because computation should always be blocking by default. The fact that you can accidentally start running your code asynchronous is just… Aside from trapping developers with simple mistakes, it’s also part of what has lead to the ecosystem irrecoverably being split into two.

I was actually a little surprised to see Microsoft make their whole .Net to .Net core without addressing some of the glaring issues with it, when that massive disruption process uprooted everything anyway.

What do you think about the Structured Concurrency library Java is working with things like fork() and join()? Is that incorrectly designed? Why do you think there's a call for that if virtual threads serves every use case?
