  The Clojure devs should be aware that the synchronization pinning problem is intended to be temporary and doesn't apply at all with GraalVM native images. One of the Loom developers talks about it here:

  https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/loom-dev/2023-September/0...

  So they could also just choose to ignore this problem for now.

  Still waiting for VS Code to support Java 21. Java is not the language to use without an IDE.

  Strange that synchnronization is used at all in lazy-seq

  The docs do not mention any synchronization: https://clojure.github.io/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#cloj...
