Value objects

Java Enhancement Proposal 169, value objects, intended to provide the necessary JVM infrastructure to permit working with objects that are immutable as well as objects that are without reference. This new infrastructure will allow for the efficient by-value computation with non-primitive data types.

The set of goals for this proposal include the following:

  • More closely align java.lang.Integer and int semantics.
  • Make Java data structures more portable
  • Support abstract data types with a performance similar to that of Java primitive data types:
    • User-defined
    • Library-defined
  • Optimize parallel computations by enabling function-style computation with pure data
  • Improve support for:
    • Complex numbers
    • Vector values
    • Tuples
  • Increase ...
