Everything except that special sauce called green threads (or goroutines). They are quite popular these days for good reason - callbacks suck.



Blatant self-promotion here, but Java's got fibers (aka lightweight threads, aka goroutines), too: https://github.com/puniverse/quasar

BTW, I don't like the term green threads because they have a connotation of being scheduled onto a single OS threads, while fibers/lightweight threads employ parallelism.


This comment is quite ironic considering Java originally only had green threads.
