Well it's not really ushering it in, given that this is what Haskell has had for a decade at least.

[marginalia_nu]

Well, yeah. Haskell is a research language, while Java's stated design philosophy from day one has been to be conservative with adding new features, and judiciously add new features after they've proven useful in other languages.

[seanparsons]

So how does that make a difference to my point? The title is literally false as multiple other languages have already done it, Haskell in fact has even rewritten the underpinnings at least once the feature has been there so long.

[maxbond]

To be fair though M:N threads aren't the provenance of research language, Go and Rust both have them, and I'm sure some other languages.

(But it's awesome Java has them now too, other languages getting the feature earlier doesn't really devalue it.)

What's haskell? \s
