How does Project Loom simplify concurrency in Java

Project Loom is designed to simplify concurrency in Java by introducing lightweight threads known as virtual threads and implementing the concept of structured concurrency. Here are the main ways in which Project Loom achieves this simplification:

Virtual Threads

• Lightweight Concurrency: Virtual threads are not tied to operating system (OS) threads, which allows for a significantly lower memory footprint. Unlike traditional threads that require substantial resources (each with its own stack), virtual threads share a stack, enabling the creation of millions of concurrent tasks without the overhead associated with OS threads.

• Ease of Creation: Developers can easily create virtual threads using a simple factory method, making the syntax intuitive and reducing boilerplate code. This ease of use encourages developers to adopt concurrent programming practices more readily.

• Blocking Operations Handling: Virtual threads can handle
