I really appreciate this Project Loom piece, both for the good things it suggests about where the JVM is going, and for making a clear case that M:N threading is the right thing for most platforms. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/loom/sol1_part1.html …

I wonder how Java avoids this for client apps? I'd expect native UI libraries to be a source of mixed stacks. Perhaps the common case is one UI thread that ends up pinned, but the other threads are unpinned?

I think people just don’t write M:N UI apps in Java

(I mean in theory it would be possible to call syscalls directly and avoid Metal but that’d involve an inhuman amount of reverse engineering effort)

Granted, though, Servo probably sees this more than most Rust apps because the JS engine is C++.

Do you do anything fancy to launch instruments or do you do it manually? Cargo-instruments? Anything else?

Just manually. I didn’t know there was a Cargo subcommand
