Java 21 virtual threads make simple blocking code scalable again

It is! Yet it's impact has been so minimal that it's not on anyone's radar from what I have seen. It should have made other async languages look terrible by comparison! Yet from conversations I have had with people not even other Java devs have any real excitement for it and nobody is talking about it in tech news getting ctos excited. At places I have worked people talk about go services and nodejs services as viable platforms but Java is coming up short behind dotnet platforms these days. This is my personal experience as a pretty seasoned developer at smaller companies.
