The Great Concurrency Smackdown: ZIO versus JDK by John A. De Goes 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I2xoQVzrhs>

I would recommend this presentation as interesting, worth watching.

However, I found a lot of problems with the arguments, and while John De 
Goes knows a few things about Loom, his knowledge is incomplete and out 
of date. On the other had, he does make a few interesting claims about 
Zio that /might /be nice features in Loom some day. In particular, the 
for-yield structure in Scala and Zio is a very powerful structure, 
although can be quite cryptic to fathom, especially by the most clever 
in the Scala community.

I will withhold my other insights and questions until people respond to 
this, showing interest in further discussion.

Cheers, Eric
