Of course they are. Or are you forgetting "synchronized"? That "Thread" is a
class in Java doesn't mean it's not built in. Or would you consider
controlled types not a part of the language in Ada?

But this is true. It's clear that Ada put a lot more effort into building
tasking that's useful and powerful for real applications, rather than
tasking to try to make synchronous I/O into asynchronous I/O.
Note to language and OS designers: Synchonous I/O is a special case of
asynchronous I/O, not vice versa!
