- Drixtanam I wasting my time with spring webflux? it seems like the official documentation isn't really "on par" with the mvc one; I feel like I am fighting against the grain
- dreamrealDrixtan: not really a question we can answer, but... in my experience if you're on java 21 or later you don't need webflux at all
- dreamrealYou *could*, but if you're one of the people who DOES need it, you're not asking anyone else if you need it or not, you know it
- dreamrealif you're the other 99%+, you're turning on virtual threads and using blocking APIs and getting the benefits that webflux would give you with a MUUUUUCH simpler api
- Drixtandreamreal: yeah, with loom, I was wondering if webflux was a dead baby... it's for a pet project, so it's more like a "refreshing my java skills" and "learning" kind of stuff right now. Thx for your input.
- dreamrealI don't think it's "dead" but it's really of limited application
- dreamrealfor the people who need that extra 2-3% speed advantage over virtual threads, or for those for whom virtual threads are an ecosystem burden due to ... very constrained stack space, etc., I guess, it's still the way to go, but ... the number of projects for which those apply is really quite low
- deebo21 still had the problem with thread pinning? or was that the version it was fixed in
