"IBM is also voting "no" which reflects our position that the JSR is not ready at this time to move beyond the Public Review stage and proceed to Proposed Final Draft"

The title is a tad misleading. They just want to delay the project, not block it. (at least i undetstood theyd delay it from initially reading the title)

This may be the death blow for Jigsaw. It's already been a work in progress for a decade or so and has been delayed and pushed back many times.

I doubt its a deathblow, iot wont go amywhere, niether will java. Where theres a will theres away and jigsaw wants to focus on security and performance. Honestly id prefer to wait a bit for something stable tham get another half arsed exploitable stack. Many here still remember the horrid days of java past.

Agreed
