Damn, still not structured concurrency full release. Really looking forward to that one.

Happy to see Scoped Values here though. That'll be big for writing what I'll call "rails-like" things in Java without it just being a big "static final" soup in a god-class, or having a god object passed around everywhere.

Java has been such an amazingly solid technological foundation... and for a long, long time! It may not be the most sexy language but it's been a stable one. We have applications created with Java 1.4 running happily on Java 21 LTS and expect to upgrade to this latest LTS (Java 25) soon. Java for the win!

I hope structured concurrency ends up feeling better than async/await with less sugar. The examples do not instill confidence, but we shall see.

Much better this way with previews, than the mess C++ is having nowadays with standardising features without implementations.

Unfortunately on .NET side, TPL Dataflow doesn't get enough love.

I would be shocked if they came up with something that made me want to move away from ZIO.
