Unify Primitives with Objects - JEP 402 #JavaNext #Shorts
Channel: nipafx
Date: 07/04/2021

JEP 402 proposes to unify primitives like `int` with objects by modeling primitive values as instances of primitive classes (introduced by JEP 401) and repurposing their wrapper classes to act as the primitives' class declarations. As a result of this change, all Java values will be objects.
