A Tour of Ox 1 0 - Direct Style Concurrency and Resiliency
summary
Ox 1.0 is released and ships a toolkit that builds direct-style Scala apps on JVM 21 using virtual threads under the hood; it provides structured concurrency scopes with supervised lifetimes, safe par/race/timeout operators, an inline try‑finally resource helper and a top‑level app helper for clean shutdown. Resiliency includes retry with exponential backoff and adaptive retries, channels with select, lazy flows and a Kafka flow integration. Benchmarks show performance comparable to KIO/Cats/ZIO in many cases.
