Networking I/O with Virtual Threads – Under the hood

java.nio.channels was introduced in Java SE 7, not 1.4. It also is far from a drop-in replacement for InputStream/OutputStream.

Even with Loom's green-threads (not the original green-threads) async IO in Java will be too otherworldly until Java's language designers cease their intrasigence about adding first-class support for `await`.

I don't see how you arrived at that conclusion at all. Async/await is always strictly harder to use than green threads. Can you explain precisely why you view them as "otherworldly"?

"Async/await is always strictly harder to use than green threads"

I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously after you say something like that.
