LMAX Disruptor is a really powerful abstraction if you are trying to build something with consistently-low latency. I've been using a variant in .NET Core for purposes of processing UI events.

It was very interesting, I ported it to C++. However, I lost interest when the whole thing could lock up if the RingBuffer size was very small yet still a power of two.

It also uses sun.misc.Unsafe to do the latency critical aspects, so yes it's Java, but most certainly not vanilla Java.
