I think most of the runtime language developers, myself included will kill to have this feature included into the JDK. There are several features of dynamic languages that are currently hard to implement like type specialization, stack reification, as you said fibers, and more generally de-optimization that will be far easier to implement with that capability (currently only Nashorn can afford to implement some of these optimizations).
