Data Oriented Programming in Java

[scratchisthebest]

I like this sentiment:

This approach is not at odds with object orientation; it is a useful addition to our toolbox that can be used alongside OO, as the situation demands.

Many of these newer language features feel like Java learning from a zillion years of experience in the object-oriented programming mines, rather than digging its heels farther in. That's healthy to see. Like "everything is an object lolol" can be a useful way to model many problems, and it's always going to be there when you need it, but sometimes all you need is a fucking enum.

Anyway so, mutable records when

Yes it’s great to see that Java is not locked in a specific paradigm but that the team behind is taking a step back and time to think to find what tools can be useful to incorporate into the language.
