Agreed. I've seen and written tons of code to workaround the fact that there are
no structs in the language. Examples of popular open-source projects that use
parallel arrays (with much worse cache locality) to avoid objects and their
memory overhead are many (Lucene, Mahout, fastutil, Trove, JGit, etc.).
Best,
Ismael
