Kilim is a Java library providing lightweight threads (fibers/continuations) via bytecode weaving, enabling millions of concurrent tasks with cooperative multitasking. It includes an actor model with mailboxes (channels), generators, NIO, HTTP, and scheduling support.
Use cases
- run millions of lightweight concurrent tasks on the JVM
- actor-based message passing in Java
- avoid callback hell in async Java code
- build a high-throughput async web server
- cooperative multitasking without OS threads
- generators and coroutines in Java
When to choose
- you need massive concurrency (millions of tasks) in Java
- you prefer synchronous-style code over futures/callbacks
- you want an actor/mailbox model on the JVM
When to avoid
- you're on modern Java versions beyond 13
- you can't tolerate bytecode weaving in your build or runtime
- you need structured concurrency or virtual threads (Project Loom) instead
