We present a type system for checking object immutability, read-only references, and class immutability in an open or closed world. To allow object initialization outside object co...
A compiler-checked immutability guarantee provides useful documentation, facilitates reasoning, and enables optimizations. This paper presents Immutability Generic Java (IGJ), a n...
