Loom's virtual threads are in fact implemented with delimited continuations.
Currently, the Continuation class is not exposed as an API for various
reasons.
I have experimented with defining a Generator based on Continuation
directly,
but I did not advance to performance testing,
as I was mostly interested in usability.
You may find my old, not updated code below.
I put this inside a JDK fork to be able to play with Continuation without
opening internal modules.
