Great work Ron.These should be a small (or maybe a full) book some day.

Java is not my main language, but I liked the Advanced Topic: Blocking vs Non-blocking section and in general have been following Parallel Universe technology stack.

If anyone is interested more in the async vs actors, there is a nice new podcast with Ron Pressler, Fred Hebert (Learn You Some Erlang For Great Good author), Kevin Hamond and Zachary Kessin

There is a discussion about concurrency, how Quasar works underneath (hint: there is an interesting bytecode transform that takes place during loading), shared state, Erlang, Clojure and Datomic. Anyway, highly recommend.
