Hi!
this is an interesting development in Java, the addition of Virtual
Threads [1] through project Loom [2].
This may impact MINA significantly, as we may simply use the new IO
system [3] to leverage those virtual threads, simplifying the underlying
implementation (bottom line: one sessions <-> one VT).
There is a synthetic description in this page [4], worth reading.
I don't know when we would expect this proposal to be integrated in
Java, but we could expect something available around Java 15 or 16, for
a final release in the LTS Java 17. A early-access version is already
available [5].
I wonder if this would be something we want to invest time beforehand,
just to be ready when Loom get available.
wdyt ?
