Hi all,
I was wondering... is there still really a good reason as of why we have
for example no iadd that can take Integer objects? Wouldn't it be
possible to implement all the primitive operations on the JVM so that
they work with boxed numbers without loosing performance? I am aware
that this was a design decision in the early times because back then the
JVM was not so good at compiling at runtime. But the times changed, or
not? So wouldn't it be possible to make it as fast as normal primitives?
And also allow those operations directly on the objective counterpart?
bye blackdrag
