Java 21: What’s New?

By reading the proposal [1], I see it's meant for record types. Records seem to be value classes, i.e. the equivalent to Scala's case classes.

In that case, there's absolutely no ambiguity: there's only one `x` you can be talking about.

By the way, value/case classes are such a boon. Very easy to get used to, and once you have, you want to use them everywhere, I guarantee.

Thanks that makes more sense, I had assumed it was for all types as Point used in the example has the same name as a class in the standard library
