valhalla-docs VS MQTTnet

What isn't clear for me from https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla-docs/blob/main/site/design-notes/state-of-valhalla/02-object-model.md is whether or not value types will indeed be headerless.

Regarding type erasure, see https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla-docs/blob/main/site/design-notes/in-defense-of-erasure.md for a justification. Note in particular that not doing erasure would have forced languages like Scala to follow Java's semantics. In cases where erasure is actually a problem, you can work around it with classes like https://fasterxml.github.io/jackson-core/javadoc/2.2.0/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/type/TypeReference.html.

Here's a (relatively recent) post on type erasure from the lead of the value types project at Oracle https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla-docs/blob/main/site/design-notes/in-defense-of-erasure.md

If you want to read something a little more formal and fleshed out, try scanning through this document, and then come back again and tell me that Brian doesn't understand your suggestion.

I haven't been following it incredibly closely, but I have checked in from time to time. It's a hard problem, but there's a lot of real progress (https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla-docs/blob/main/site/desi...).

I'd wager that it will ship by the next LTS, in 2024.

MQTTNet - High perf IOT comms for .NET - https://github.com/dotnet/MQTTnet

I'm trying to use MQTT.Net and so far everything works.. except for event handling.

Like the other guy said it depends on the requirements, but you could implement your own mqtt server with MQTTnet with a few lines of code

For the server we used mosquitto because we already used it in the past (and it's relatively simple), for the client MQTTnet because it's .net and it seemed good enough (mosquitto has a client library too but it's C so I'd have to write some interop). It's a simple protocol so it shouldn't really matter which implementation you use.

We are going to use MQTTNet as the foundation for this article, although the same concepts can be applied with any other MQTT client.

For example, I used MQTTnet which is a very nice (high performance & extensible) library. And it's free/open source. If you're not writing your server code in .NET, then look for whatever broker libraries are available on your server platform.
