Sidebar: Why “Virtual”? In previous iterations of the project, we called

our lightweight, user-mode threads “fibers”, but found ourselves repeatedly explaining that they are not a new concept but a different implementation of a familiar one — the thread. Also, that term is already used for constructs that are similar yet different enough to cause confusion. “Green threads” is similarly tainted by other implementations. We considered the non-specific “lightweight threads,” but “lightweight” is relative and we pictured future JDKs having “micro-threads,” and so we settled on Brian Goetz’s suggestion to call them “virtual threads,” which also tested well in conferences. The name is supposed to evoke a connection with virtual memory: we get more of something (address space, threads) by mapping the virtual construct on top of the concrete one (physical memory, OS threads).
