I wish the JEP showed which company was behind it. It has an author but it’s just a username not a full name and doesn’t indicate the company they work for.

- teraflop 4y agoWhy must a company be "behind" this change? 2 minutes of sleuthing seems to suggest that the author of the JEP is a freelance developer who contributes to OpenJDK independently.
- __float 4y agoWhy does there need to be a company affiliation at all? Do you feel this JEP is motivated by a company's interests?
- carimura 4y agoFor motivation and to see who's involved there are a few other places you can go such as amber-dev [1] and his PR's [2].

- pedrow 4y agoIs there a list of JEPs which includes the affiliation of the person proposing them? It would be interesting to see how many get approved. I would expect it's a lot easier to make progress from 'inside the tent' i.e. an employee of Oracle, Red Hat etc. Having said that, from the link posted by carimura [0] it looks like the author of this one is doing an excellent job of engaging with Brian Goetz and others at oracle.
