[hibernate-dev] New disruptive API possibilities in Java8: what do we do?

[Sanne Grinovero]

As in this forum post:
 - https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1036010
and some conversations I catched on the twitter radar, SO and other
posts, lots of people are wondering what our "amazing plans" are
around powerful innovations we could to thanks to Java8.

I understand we're all quite stretched and I don't think I can take
the lead on this either, but I think we should at least provide
potential contributors with some options to experiment and see where
we can get.

As soon as we have confluence we could have a page to describe our
constraints and possibly to collect nice ideas. Beyond that, what
about having some kind of sandbox project for an ORM wrapper (and
maybe others) to play with experimental API proposals?

I would love to be able to suggest some "get prototyping here" plan to
smart proposals like the one in this forum post.
