The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 24:
487: Scoped Values (Fourth Preview)
https://openjdk.org/jeps/487
Summary: Introduce scoped values, which enable a method to share
immutable data both with its callees within a thread, and with child
threads. Scoped values are easier to reason about than thread-local
variables. They also have lower space and time costs, especially when
used together with virtual threads (JEP 444) and structured concurrency
(JEP 480). This is a preview API.
Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections. If no such objections
are raised by 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 30 October, or if they’re raised
and then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal
[2] I’ll target this JEP to JDK 24.
