For years, I’ve worked with Java’s concurrency model, and I know firsthand how challenging it can be. One moment, everything seems fine, and the next, I’m battling deadlocks, race conditions, and performance bottlenecks that feel impossible to debug.
But things are changing. With Project Loom and its virtual threads, Java is making a huge leap forward, allowing me to rethink how I handle concurrency. Today, I want to take a deep dive into the evolution of Java’s threading model, the problems I’ve faced with traditional concurrency, and how modern solutions like virtual threads and structured concurrency are shaping the future.
If you’ve ever struggled with writing efficient multithreaded applications, this post is for you.
How Java Concurrency Has Evolved
Before I dive into what’s new, let’s take a step back and look at how Java’s concurrency model has evolved.
