Is there an email list to pose informal questions concerning Java Project Valhalla?

If so, which one is it?

I was wondering if there is an effort

to combine Java value types with

numeric mathematics and type operators?


Is this something anyone on the inside can comment on,

presently?

Is this email list the place to pose informal questions and discussions

concerning Java Project Valhalla?


Is there anyone involved with the workings on the project

who can make any time to read and respond to public questions posed

about features of the project posed via this email list?

After a number of minor editing tweaks to Class and MethodHandles, and
the more significant addition of the Security manager checks to Class,
the specs have again been updated.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8010319/specs/

I will propose the CSR request now so that we can start to get feedback
from that process.

Thanks for all the feedback so far.

David
