Most people are thirsting for value objects but I'm mostly looking forward to:
542: PEM Encodings of Cryptographic Objects
543: Structured Concurrency
Developers work with certificates a bit too seldom to aquire proficiency with conversions. Being able to use PEM directly will ease a lot of pain.
I've given concurrency a couple of attempts over the years and I don't... like... or understand?... how the existing Java concurrency primitives are supposed to work. The only library that has clicked with me is Awaitility but for some reason Awaitility is intended for testing and not for production. Maybe Structured Concurrency will finally unlock something for me?

While I certainly welcome this in the JDK, in practice it hasn't been a huge issue since a lot of people just use Bouncycastle to get that support.
I'm curious what about Java concurrency hasn't made sense or not clicked? Also in comparison to other languages like Erlang or just in general?
