Rekord and Octarine #1

Closed poetix closed 10 years ago

poetix commented 10 years ago

Please consider Rekord/Octarine for inclusion in your list of libraries:

http://github.com/samirtalwar/rekord http://github.com/poetix/octarine

See in particular this article explaining why "Java Beans Must Die" and proposing Rekord as an alternative way of working with value types:

Better Java is, I believe, Java without beans (even in a "C struct" style) and builders, an anti-pattern we've been saddling ourselves with for much too long.

I like these libraries, but I think they're too new and too different to warrant including just yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
