Immutable Data with Java: Using Immutable Data Structures
summary
The talk explains why immutable data structures are useful in Java—improving code clarity and providing inherent thread-safety—and notes that Java lacks built-in support for them. It presents patterns and libraries Java developers can use to create immutables and discusses techniques for representing state changes in otherwise immutable programs, with pros and cons for each approach.
