Presumably I'm missing something, but are they trying to do something more than just Boxing value types? (Specialization?) I cannot see how legacy classes would be impacted if Boxing was used, nor quite why it is going to be so difficult. Boxing would seem to deliver most of the benefits (i.e. the ability to do things in a memory efficient manner in new code).
- dgreensp 8y agoYes, the point is to not box them.
- lsd5you 8y agoYes, in ArrayLists ... etc., but if you want compact values on the stack, or compact value data structures you don't need this. I feel like 80% of the solution (and one which is likely future compatible) is going begging whilst they worry about nice to haves.
