New candidate JEP: 425: Virtual Threads (Preview)

[Eric Kolotyluk]

I just watched Virtual Thread Deep Dive - Inside Java Newscast #23 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dpHdo-UnCg> after starting to review 
425...

I must say, the narrative on Project Loom keeps getting better and better...

Regarding

    There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache
    invalidation and naming things.

    -- Phil Karlton

I am really glad that the name Fibers was changed to Virtual Threads as 
the video really makes clear the analogy to virtual memory. It's really 
great that some people still care about naming things well, in addition 
to explaining things well.

Cheers, Eric
