Any news on the Classfile API?
If you want an alternative to ASM, try Cojen/Maker, which is designed to be much easier to use than any of the other class writing APIs, including the one proposed by JEP-8280389. Here's a comparison.

Jdk.Classfile Javadoc (in-development)
That's a lot right arrow operators just to implement a simple Hello World program (5). I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it might be to generate anything more interesting than this. Here's a comparison against a classfile API which is designed to be easy to use: https://github.com/cojen/Maker/wiki/JEP-8280389

Show HN: I spent my vacation writing a modern JVM assembler
For the code generation phase, it might be easier to bypass emitting a text-based assembly format and just use the ASM library directly. If you want something easier, I wrote a code generation library specifically for that purpose: https://github.com/cojen/Maker It also includes an example "Mini-C" language compiler.
