Project Valhalla, real-talk... what is it?

For decades, Java's object model has powered one of the world's most successful programming languages. But the hardware we run on today looks very different from the world Java was born into in 1995. Modern CPUs are incredibly fast, but memory access, cache locality, and object allocation have become some of the biggest performance challenges in software. Project Valhalla is one of the most ambitious changes in Java's history. It isn't just about making Java faster... it's about rethinking what a Java object actually is. submitted by /u/OSBY_Glabay [link] [留言]
