Thank Craig for this vote call. My vote is -1, my 2 cents, because the JDK 9 and later have deprecated the unsafe feature, that make the core functionalities hardly upgradable. but the JDK14 introduced a hybrid memory supporting feature recently, the new incubator feature looks provided the promising infrastructure for durable object model to migrate upon. I think it could be possible to bring dev. together.
Thanks.
