Valhalla - Where Are We?
Conference (INTERMEDIATE level)
Room 8

Brian will give an update on Project Valhalla.
Valhalla is augmenting the Java object model with value objects, combining the abstractions of object-oriented programming with the performance characteristics of simple primitives. Supplementary changes to Java’s generics will carry these performance gains into generic APIs.
