Yeaaah. You might be right. Hopefully we have this one day https://openjdk.org/jeps/8261007
Why does the array need to be immutable? Isn’t it enough to allocate the pessimistic max size of the record times the size of the array? In go slices work quite nicely to deal with “immutable” arrays and still be able to work on views on those arrays while keeping the same memory backing.
