I really admire Stuart Marks and his work, talks and writing. His work in Java APIs are much more approachable for laypersons like me who will be quick to pounce on various suggestions, problems and feature requests. But I find his responses very well thought out and reasoned even though I personally may not like the outcome I can always see that the choice he made is perhaps the least worst option. This is no mean feat for a language still trying to evolve, even rapidly, after 25 years of cruft. This is unlike Brian Goetz’s work in Valhalla etc where you need more expertise to make meaningful suggestions. Needless to say, very happy with this JEP. My only wish is make these updates come sooner but perhaps you need time to prepare and reason about new stuff instead of adding every little feature that may seem useful at first glance.
