It's a hard puzzle (but maybe a good one) to make the current JVM
thread API fit on top of really lightweight threads. Do you think
green threads are really light enough? I suspect not, though maybe
you could do 100k. But when you get to event clouds with 1M or 10M
actors, green threads (which inherently seem to occupy many kilobytes
of memory and address space) will start to look sluggish.
