The C++20 standard introduced a new version of the standard thread handle, std::jthread (joining thread). When an instance of a std::thread is destroyed while holding a thread, it will automatically call std::terminate. We, therefore, have to manually call join() or detach(). The std::jthread will instead automatically join the held thread in its destructor.

I can never get rid of the feeling that "jthread" sounds like a Java thing 😅
Really interesting, Anthony Williams described this class in his earlier edition of Concurrency in C++ Still reading the book. At that time, it hadn't been added to the standard, was still in boost.
