Valhalla was first announced in 2014, and Loom in 2017.
Does anyone have some insight on when either of these might finally be ready?
For those not familiar:
Valhalla: introduces "inline types" (structs) and allows using primitive types as generics. Has the potential for quite significant performance improvements because it can reduces all the pointer chasing currently required.
Loom: allows Java to work like Go: code that looks single-threaded but where IO is actually driven by a runtime on a hand full of threads. As in: async without the development and debugging complexity.
