Anyone know if this preview JEP would make it into Java 18?
We've been hearing out openjdk's project loom for a while, but we haven't gotten to try this out in Java mainline. I am guessing this will take at least two previews before an initial release. And given the speed the ecosystem moves at, we may not see this reaching widespread use for quite a while.
It's very close but I wouldn't expect it in 18, much more likely to land in 19 as preview. I have been using Loom builds for a small app for a while and haven't encountered anything strange (though last time I checked virtual threads confused the crap out of my IDE debugger) so I expect that there should be very few bugs to fix and thus should have an easy path to LTS in Java 21.
