  • Too Much Go Misdirection

    Sorry for the slow reply here, but in Java, `final` variables can’t be updated to reference a different object, but the underlying object can be modified with method calls (technically `const` is actually not a keyword afaik, but `final` is and does the same-ish job. However you can e.g. append things to a final ArrayList, whereas in C++ you can’t append to a const vector. In C++, you mark methods const to indicate that they don’t mutate the underlying object, and only cost methods can be called on const variables).

    The Guava docs give an example of the defensive copying: https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/ImmutableCollectionsExp.... Any time an Immutable

    The repo I researched for the first bit was was guava. Its a popular project that meets all of my requirements. "Guava is a set of core Java libraries from Google that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset), immutable collections, a graph library, and utilities for concurrency, I/O, hashing, primitives, strings, and more! It is widely used on most Java projects within Google, and widely used by many other companies as well."
  • Lists: do you know the nature of yours? The strange story of a data container in Java

    The first problem is at the level of Type System, given that a situation more correct would allow us to distinguish through the Collection Type which abstraction we are operating with, species if definable as mutable or immutable. The JCF was born at a time when great care was taken to offer immediate operational data structures, and with attention to performance, but with less attention to constructs or uses that are now seen as common. These concepts have been taken up by other infrastructures from which we certainly cannot fail to mention: Eclipse Collection, Guava Collections, and VAVR.

    Even better is getting Gradle/Maven to correctly pull "plain" vs "Android" versions of the package instead of them just publishing the diverging code base as two repository packages.

  • Guava 32.0 (released today) and the @Beta annotation
    5 projects | /r/java | 30 May 2023
    I'll admit I'm surprised to see that BOMs have been documented on maven.apache.org since mid-2008. It looks like Spring, for example, didn't adopt them until mid-2014. I don't know how widely they caught on in other areas. The first discussion of them in the context of Guava may have been in 2018, as I don't see mention of them in the various issues from 2011-2015 (#605, #1329, #1471, #1954.
  • Best Practice of Guava ImmutableList
    1 project | /r/learnjava | 8 May 2023
    And a quick peek at the source code for ImmutableList seems to confirm this (https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/collect/ImmutableList.java - it goes via a bunch of methods, but ends up using Arrays.copyOf(), which creates a fixed-size array).

    The guava library of Java has some of these data structures implemented: https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/ImmutableCollectionsExplained , but implementations of the above book in many languages can be found on github (say, this one for Haskell: https://github.com/aistrate/Okasaki )
