   Hope you come back. Would be cool to venture in this new data oriented programming phase java has invested a lot in.

   Yeaaah. You might be right. Hopefully we have this one day https://openjdk.org/jeps/8261007

   I use c-struct layout. I should be more explicit in the readme. I use classfile api to generate bytecode during initialisation of the Mem<T> and bytecode stored in cache in case if initialised again somewhere based on the same record

   Thanks. Main goal. Unions is where I decided to pause - no simple and ergonomic way to do it at the moment.

   Yup. Totally agree. Java does needs an array of structs. Hopefully value classes will help out through flattened array. But in future, one can use value records with this library with probable zero cost allocation. But the library doesn&#x2

   Typeclasses are coming. And they will use them for growing the language such as operator overloading, collection literals, narrowing & widening types, etc.

    This article doesn't talk about Valhalla and doesn't talk about java pattern matching in depth. It should have been titled as Kotlin vs Rust.

    I shifted to java modules. It solved many things especially using jpackage. Latest java version handles import hell reducing import clutter.

    It was submitted recently 2 weeks ago hence we might see something in future releases too.

    Type class approach seems quite a novel strategy. Using monoids, groups, rings, etc for algebraic structures in type class (interface), one can model operator overloading, collection literals, type conversions. Seems people in Haskell have
