StructuredTaskScope

[eric at kolotyluk.net]

I don’t usually look to Java for the big advancements in the shade of Scala and Kotlin, for example, but Loom really does something significant other languages and frameworks have not.

 

Yes, all those iterations were worth it to get something cleaner, simpler, and more concise. Practice makes perfect.

It only took about a dozen iterations on the API to boil it down to this :)

Scopes are much clearer than Sessions.
 
Great work.
