Hi,
I've just checked out the comparison about Java and C# and found that Java
really does not support using primitive types in the generic types, and only
their wrapper counterparts are supported (for instance, Map<Long, Long>), which
consequently will cause many boxing and unboxing operations. I guess it is the
reason why the wheels are recreated (IntHashtable and LongHashtable).
It is really a pain.
