Object composition is often advocated as a more flexible alternative to standard class inheritance since it takes place at run-time, thus permitting to specialize the behavior of ...
Traits support the factoring out of common behaviour, and its integration into classes in a manner that coexists smoothly with inheritance-based structuring mechanisms. We designed...
A compiler-checked immutability guarantee provides useful documentation, facilitates reasoning, and enables optimizations. This paper presents Immutability Generic Java (IGJ), a n...

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...
