Java 'struct' request

Peter QuiringNov 19 2018 — edited Nov 19 2018

I would like to see Java include a light-weight class called a 'struct'.  I originally thought that is what Valhalla was going to be but it seems to be more like a user-defined type that is not a reference.  So a Valhalla object must be 'copied' in full with each assignment.  Good for small tuples.

I was hoping for something more like a 'struct' which would be similar to a 'class' but is more light-weight (a struct would still be a reference but does NOT derive from Object but maybe something called Structure)  It could still have members but because it's a reference you could assign it to other struct references much faster than a Valhalla object.  The overhead of a full 'class' causes much of the 'bloat' in Java.  A leaner 'struct' I think would help reduce memory usage (no monitor or any virtual functions in the base class Structure).

Thanks,

Hi Veera2,

Thanks for your question. Client means the client code which will talk to the REST API. Server means the REST API which will produce result for the consumer.

I hope this will clarify your question.

Thanks,
