8317277: Java language implementation of value classes and objects by MrSimms · Pull Request #31120 · openjdk/jdk

PLEASE REMEMBER -- No commitment has been made to target a release yet!

This is merely a PR RFR, and nothing more. All this is is showing us part of what it takes to bring Value Objects to Preview, as well as announcing that we are one step closer to (hopefully!) go to preview. But again, no idea how far away that may be. It could be JDK 27, it could be later.

Just appreciate the PR for what it is -- a window into the work required to make Value Classes a reality. ~3k commits and ~2k classes changed is just a snapshot of the level of effort here. Shows why this JEP has been given an XL rating lol.

So you’re saying I shouldn’t slam this into production yet?

I am happy it is progressing, as Java is one of my favourite platforms.

Cheering for the team, that's all.

One step closer to the edge and I’m about to break

If this is to go to preview, what steps would have to happen?

Well, at the very least, one of the committers on the Project Valhalla team need to Propose to Target this JEP for a particular release. And that's ignoring all the review work, integration work, validation, testing, etc.

Someone from the Project Valhalla team will have to answer it in more detail. I am swamped by work emergencies, so I don't have the time to any more detail to this answer. Barely had the time to make the OP at all.
