I once said that "just as there's no founder like Elon, there's no Java expert like Andrew (project author)"

Andrew's Java skills are at a different level. I only briefly met him once, but he used to be a core contributor to Oracle's Java magazine. 80% of the "Unix greybeard" type advanced Java knowledge I have is due to his articles.

Happy to see he's still building. Thanks Andrew!

Thank you for such kind words!
Ok why are you doing this? To see if some end around to another language GC is faster?
I can see it being used to bootstrap OpenJDK, particularly on platforms other than Windows, macOS or Linux.
So, where is Andrew's x/twitter?
seems his blogspot is also full of stuff http://binstock.blogspot.com/
