I'm excited about #Scala3. I'm excited about Loom. I think that Scala 3 running on Loom will be the closest I'll get to a "gamechanger" to my everyday work in the next 10-15 years.

It really doesn't. That's kind of my whole complaint about Loom. Literally the only *benefit* it brings to frameworks like Cats Effect is the ability to make some(!) hard-blocking on the compute pool a little less cataclysmic for users.
I'm quite sympathetic to that, though, since I've wasted days of my life on compute pool exhaustion...

Right, and Loom will make that *better*, but it won't eliminate it. Plenty of blocking things will still hard-block carrier threads unavoidably (e.g. new URL(...), or any file IO).

Speaking of which, the file IO problem is something that irks me a lot about Loom: they claim they can solve it by just using a different kernel API in the http://java.io implementations. That statement alone undermines a lot of credibility: it isn't solvable.
