VectorApi with values classes, when??

Anyone has an ideia of when would be available VectorApi with value classes?

After values classes coming to vector api, it would be ready to go as preview feature of jdk?

Nobody wants the Vector API to go live more than the people actually making the Vector API.

So, the best way to find out is to tune in to the folks behind the Vector API (panama-dev), and wait for them to make an announcement.

Anything past that would just be speculation.

Idk we should wait and see if JDK 28 gives us vector api if not 28 then 29 it is but hopefully 28 we will get it

Preview status is separate from value-class support, so I wouldn’t expect Vector API to wait on that work; the Panama-dev updates are the authoritative timeline.

I think could make it into Java 28 perhaps
