Earlier quoted context omitted.

would you mind linking to the channel? not sure which one you mean

I mean, just writing "Java official YouTube channel" to Google or YouTube gives it: https://www.youtube.com/@java

I know, but there's no harm in confirming that is indeed what they had in mind :)

You know you haven't done much if your whole HN discussion page is jokes on version number rapidly increasing and few frustrating comments on why their favorite feature is not implemented yet!

I think you are reading way too much in those things. I made the JEP 533 joke in this thread, and I am definitely not implying progress is slow, nor am I frustrated.

I think it's a good thing the developers take their time to flesh out new features. Once it goes in, it stays like that forever. Besides, since 27 isn't an LTS release it doesn't really matter if it goes out of preview. Looking at mailingslists, etc. I can see plenty of progress being made.
