Geeky about Java, Star Trek and Proportional Representation
Is there any thought to have Optional, ThreadLocal, AtomicReference or Map support some kind of pattern matching to go when the collection contains the key?

#ProportionalRepresentation that perhaps uses RCV would be so much better as it would better guarantee that parties beyond the top two would get accurately reflected in the legislature.

#ProportionalRepresentation for the win. 20% of the voters should be approximately 20% of the seats. Use RCV within a PR system.

While I think uglier... I think Adam Bien is a fan of using the System.Logger then you don't have to worry about imports.

Shame neither of our countries have proportional representation. Single transferable vote would make for a nice basis.

I was writing Java before Records came along but if I were to be taught java from the start, I wonder if I'd like to be taught Records before Classes because Records are a simpler use case. (Maybe I'd need the simpler main mechansim first).

Perhaps create a second constructor that takes in ints and casts the results to the real constructor ?

It does but we’ve just had another Java release, so at least something is getting better.
