Neither have addressed it though - they do have works in progress. Same as the lack of decent threading in Java.

It's been a WIP for years. Lets judge based on status quo rather than being disingenious.

How does Java not have decent threading? Go doesn't even have actual threads.

I'm assuming you're talking about goroutines aka virtual threads/fibers whatever which are entirely different from actual threads.

apologies, but yes, you're correct - I was referring to green threads
