Comment on A Design Space Exploration of Async/Awaitparent

Comments

How does parallelism come into play for this conversation? Async/await is a concurrency construct. And Java’s virtual threads are also a concurrency construct. Neither of them have anything to do with parallelism. Or am I misunderstanding something?

I'd say Java's virtual threads are also a parallelism construct (at least in the performance sense, not logical guarantees), since they're scheduled on a pool.
