OpenJDK
After its one-week review had concluded, JEP 428, Structured Concurrency (Incubator), was promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted status for JDK 19. This incubating JEP, under the auspices of Project Loom, proposes to simplify multithreaded programming by introducing a library to treat multiple tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work. This can streamline error handling and cancellation, improve reliability, and enhance observability. Further details on JEP 428 may be found in this more detailed news story.
