Abstract

A network of objects is a set of objects interconnected by pointers or the equivalent. In traditional languages, objects are allocated individually, and networks of objects are assembled incrementally. We present a set of language constructs that can create static networks: networks of objects which are created atomically, and which are immutable. Then, we present some of the most interesting abilities of static networks.
