I do think Java is a fine language but I don't really agree that it looks more simple in any way shape or form.

For things like UI programming where you need a main thread or where you do need a cross language OS thread, I think Java is going to end up more complex. Under the hood it is very complex and that _will_ show itself.

So from my perspective it's not virtual threads, it's virtual threads with structured concurrency vs async/await. When you look at it that way, the comparison of complexity is certainly not seamless or simple.
