Type Specialization of Java Generics - What If Casts Have Teeth?

Explore a conference talk from the JVM Language Summit that delves into type specialization of Java generics and the potential impact of enhanced casting mechanisms. Join Associate Professor Rémi Forax and PhD student Loris Créantor from Université Gustave Eiffel as they present their research on improving Java's type system. Discover how their proposed changes could affect performance and type safety in Java programs. Gain insights into ongoing developments in Project Valhalla and their implications for the future of Java. Access additional resources, including the Diego Prototype and related talks, to further your understanding of these advanced Java concepts.
