  Ah right - that's not really what we're talking about here, even though they have the same name.

    “Codes like a class, works like an int!” - Taken from the top of the page. This is exactly what Value Classes are in Scala. You supply an underlying value which is then interpreted as the value itself, not a reference.

      What you're talking about is just wrapping a single value. It's a type-system thing. What we're talking about are wrapping compound values. It's a VM implementation thing. They're not really comparable.
