Comment on Project Valhalla, Simple as it can be, but not simpler

Comments

The shift in valhalla's direction reminds me of the initial challenges i faced when experimenting with its early prototypes. i distinctly remember grappling with the introduction of q-types and v-bytecodes and trying to align it with my existing understanding of the jvm. it's interesting to see how the design is evolving towards expressing struct-like values as normal java classes. from my own tinkering with valhalla, the convergence towards a more streamlined approach without losing out on performance seems promising. curious to see how these changes will play out in real world applications, especially considering the nuances of java's memory model and optimization techniques.
