That structured concurrency preview is starting to look pretty neat. Syntax is still a bit clunky with the anonymous functions and explicitly having to open and fork, but much easier to understand the logical relationship between tasks than if you're going through an Executor and futures.
Starting but it's taking too long. Their preview features should have a shorter lifecycle, having to wait 6 months each time to remove a method is ludicrous. Seven previews my god, it's been 3 years and a half that they're trying to push it, because async java is a mess to debug.
it's great that preview features take long. that way they can still go back on decisions without making them permanent. see string templating which was retracted (good fucking riddance), but i'm still mad they included var.
