Not OS X specific. But anyhow, I thought the list was supposed to allow
more general java development discussion these days.
Does anyone have a good explanation for why BigInteger needs to be
immutable? Or know where such a good explanation might be read?
I think sometimes for highly iterative computational code you can get
both better memory management and speed if you avoid the immutable
inherent in BigInteger.
But there might be something I'm missing as to why this isn't a good
idea, so before I put a lot more time into figuring out how to get
around BigInteger?
