Re: Proposed changed to Colt design for ArrayLists
I agree that it makes sense to get rid of them. Auto-boxing/unboxing is really really slow, and as a result of extremely limited usefulness.
Re: Proposed changed to Colt design for ArrayLists
I don't think it's necessarily pointless, since it provides the most logical possible integration with standard library classes, and that could be useful. With auto-boxing/unboxing, it makes these things iterable with foreach, etc. But doing those sorts of things does defeat the purpose, probably,
