   I think that [Project Panama](https://openjdk.java.net/projects/panama/) may be an interesting project to follow for its ambitions to promote better native interoperability.  
   
   This could potentially allow a migration path for native calls that are no longer supported beyond Java 8, as the proposal targets version 16 of the JDK: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/393
   
   In particular, its foreign memory access API provides the ability to access off-heap memory in an efficient fashion:
