# clj-virtual-threads
An experiment with Java21 Virtual Threads and Clojure. Both examples just update an `atom` counter over 100000 threads, comparing the execution time between a virtual thread and a "real" thread.
## Disclaimer
This was a very quick thought experiment but there are some issues. Take these numbers with a grain of salt [See this hacker news thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41127344)
## Running
Using the Clojure [CLI](https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli), you can run this program like so:
```sh
clj src/main.clj
```
## Results
