> alone puts TS over anything that Java has.

Virtual Threads alone challenge this assumption.

Syntax bloat is not a feature.

It's not really a syntax bloat, the linked docs mention how to define strict string types and elaborate on type-level programming, something that is a very rare and powerful type-level capability. As far as I understand Virtual Threads aren't type oriented feature, which is basically the context for this thread.

Virtual Threads are not a type system feature?
