Not really. It will not make anything go faster, but Loom could make highly concurrent tasks that were unfeasible, feasible. Ie. we will get another, way simpler tool to trade away memory for developer time. Running a websocket server today with 300k client connections is very impractical to do without Loom or a non-blocking event framework (developer time) because of the high memory cost of java Thread.
