loom-dev Digest, Vol 53, Issue 36

[Arkadiusz Gasiński]

So I noticed that the SC JEP was updated yesterday - that was very fast -
thanks, Alan!

And reg the future loom builds - my understanding is that virtual threads
changes were integrated into the mainline, but there are other features
under the loom umbrella (like SC) that haven't been completed yet and that
loom will continue providing builds containing these features - it this a
correct assumption?

Thanks,
Arek
