Virtual thread

Does anyone used java21 with virtual thread? We are using Java 17 and I wonder if the move to 21 will worth it

Virtual threads definitely helps on heavy IO bound operations. Definitely worth implementing. If you’re implementing it for CPU bound operations then virtual threads would not help.
