Inversion of thought pattern: Why is a thread such a waste that we can't have one per concurrent request? Make threads less wasteful instead. Go took things in this direction.


How do you suggest we just "make threads less wasteful"?

I mean, I suppose we could move the scheduling and tracking out of kernel mode and into user mode...

But then guess what we've just reinvented?


Colored functions. (Just thought I'd add that, because despite the rhetorical question, it took awhile for me to come up with the answer).


Goroutines? Java virtual threads?
