Loom

 Fibers, Continuations and Tail-Calls

Welcome to the Loom Project!

The goal of this Project is to explore and incubate Java VM features and APIs built on top of them for the implementation of lightweight user-mode threads (fibers), delimited continuations (of some form), and related features, such as explicit tail-call.

This OpenJDK project is sponsored by the HotSpot Group.
