1. The unclear licensing model has been the most significant barrier to GraalVM adoption for years. However, at @JavaOne 2022, it was announced that @Oracle will make the GraalVM CE a part of the OpenJDK. Project Galahad has been set up to carry out the process - ❤️ that name. 
2. @Google announced that it was joining the @adoptium working group as a Strategic Member. Google didn't just limit itself to throwing piles of 💰 at JDK, but together with @AlibabaGroup began working on Java Class Pre-Initialization to accelerate the cold start of applications.
"Towards better serialization!"
That's a guiding light of #ProjectAmber and record serialization is the first step. The Inside Java Podcast episode on that topic with Julia Boes and @chegar999 (inside.java/2021/03/08/pod…) gives great insight into how it achieves that. 🧵

First, what's wrong with regular serialization? In short:
* extralinguistic mechanism (aka "magic")
* undermines encapsulation
* causes security issues
* hinders evolving code
* holds back new Java features
In long (and why it turned out that way), see attached thread.

"The magic is where the sin was" (@BrianGoetz) and so record serialization promises "what you see is what you get", making it:
1. easy to understand
2. no magic
3. more secure
4. more performant
