Excuse me, but the thread is huge and maybe I’m asking something obvious or already asked.

I (unluckily) program in Java too using Spring Boot, and I must say virtual threads are a piece of cake. But AFAIK they are daemon threads. And AFAIK Python [has some problems with them](https://discuss.python.org/t/getting-rid-of-daemon-threads/68836).

Side note: I’m not against the proposal. On the contrary, I’d like them.
