Java enhancement proposal would preserve the status of the Java Native Interface as a standard way to interoperate with native code, while disallowing interoperation with native code by default.

Loom focuses on achieving massive parallelism without the need to write asynchronous code. Panama’s goal is to make it possible for Java native code to interface with external libraries.

The Java Standard Library provides a lot of functionality. However, it doesn't always provide the features needed to interface directly to the underlying system. Enter JNI, which lets you safely and ...
