The original red/blue article said that Java /didn't/ have function coloring, and that's because it didn't rely on callbacks but rather on threads. Project Loom may in fact be introducing function coloring if I understood the article correctly.

No loom will not be introducing it. It's exactly what the team DOES NOT want. pron even stated it in his "State of Loom" article.

"Project Loom intends to eliminate the frustrating tradeoff between efficiently running concurrent programs and efficiently writing, maintaining and observing them." [0]
