Author here: Jactl is a secure embeddable scripting language that compiles to bytecode and supports Java 8 and later versions. The article describes how Continuations were used to provide Virtual Thread-like behaviour for scripts. Blocking operations suspend a script which is then resumed from where it left off once the operation completes.
