Is the idea here to offer a wrapping API for such collections to Groovy application developers, or merely use immutable collections inside Groovy, without exposing them to application developers?
I would like to use them internally as well as offering them to Groovy developers. The point being, that if I have them in groovy-core they bring some size to the jars as well, unless I use jarjar to pick out only the stuff I want to and put them in a separate namespache. but unless there is a good reason to do so, I would prefer having the library being generally available. If we just provide a wrapper it does not have to be part of groovy-core at all. And I am thinking that if we have a kind of standard library, we can take care of its classes in the runtime better and maybe gpars would use that as well in the long term for some things.
