I'm the lead for Project Loom. We don't commit to a timeline on any OpenJDK projects, partly because the question of "is it good enough to release?" depends on feedback. I can say that early access builds will be available in a couple of months, and that I don't think it's too soon to take Loom into consideration if you're now planning a new long-term project.
Native image is, indeed, Substrate VM, but I'll let Graal people address the Graal questions.

- pron 8y agoSure. What we need most is for people to try the API and give us feedback, try running various frameworks with fibers and give us feedback etc..
- eklavya 8y agoHoping to see some Scala speedups with tail call optimisations finally possible :)
- pron 8y agoTail calls will come later. We're focusing on fibers, first (there's a cost/benefit consideration).
