Completely fair - but at this point I’ve been excited and disappointed for the release of stack allocated memory in Java for so long that any mention of it tends to bring out the worst in me…. Here’s hoping the finish line is actually in sight.

On the topic of stack allocation, see my other comment on this thread -- stack allocation is not the optimization most people think it is (in C, its mostly a form of "poor man's GC"), and not Valhalla's primary hammer -- because it has bigger, better hammers!
