Presentation: Does Java Need Inline Types? What Project Valhalla Can Bring to Java
Share this on:
Abstract
Inline(value) types are the key part of experimental project Valhalla which should bring new abilities to Java language. It's a story not only about performance, it's also a story about safety, abstraction,expressiveness, maintainability, etc. But on this session we will talk about performance. Which performance benefits inline types bring to Java and how we could exploit it.
