Agrona isn’t going anywhere due to the library being more than basic collections.
Now, with regard to single-threaded collections… honestly I dislike Agrona as I always fight to avoid boxing; carrot was far better with this regard…. Didn’t look at the fastutil versions to see if they are better here, but I do know I am personally not happy with Agrona primitive collections… I do believe the main motivator for this is that fastutil has a concurrent version of their collections, so you gain access to concurrent primitive collections; something we do not have today… Given the desire for concurrent primitive collections, I am cool with it. > I’m not inclined to swap it out When it came to random testing libraries, I believe the stance taken before was that we should allow multiple versions and the best one will win eventually… so I am cool having the same stance for primitive collections... > On May 25, 2023, at 8:50 AM, Benedict <bened...@apache.org> wrote: > > Given they provide no data or explanation, and that benchmarking is hard, I’m > not inclined to give much weight to their analysis. > > Agrona was favoured in large part due to the perceived quality of the > library.
