Comparing Golang and understanding Java Value Types
The talk compares the memory model of the Go programming language to the memory
model of Java. This comparision will help Java developers understand the planned
Java 10 feature: Value Types. The talk will describe how these are implemented
in Go, and why they so much needed for the Java language. At the end of the
presentation the audience will also understand why Value Types can not be
extended, immutable and are passed always by value.
