valhalla-docs VS themesof.net

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.

Quotes from here

This is a good one, though it's more vague then a typical roadmap https://themesof.net/

Right, so, if we're going to talk about unreleased, future features, then I have a little roadmap here to show you.

The dotnet team at least does use it in a number of stuff. Tye's dashboard UI uses Blazor server, and if I recall some parts of MS docs uses Blazor WASM to evaluate C# code in the browser. dotnet live and https://themesof.net/ uses Blazor server as well.

Having said that, charting is a very basic and fundamental enterprise application requirement, so we do support that. As a matter of fact we have an entire project theme (inspired from https://themesof.net/) dedicated to enterprise solution requirements, including lot of stuff from async queue-based or batch processing to allowing the end user to define their own queries and exporting results to excel and the like.

What you call "meme", I call .NET appeals to net-new developers, students, and new technologists, which is one of the Themes of .NET, which guide the platform, languages, and tooling roadmap.

There’s more information on the plans, changes, and challenges encountered with the current .NET 6 development on Microsoft’s Themes of .NET.
