09/20/2019, 1:58 AMIn the kotlinx immutable collections library (https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable), what is the difference between the persistent classes vs immutable classes?
Copy code
Persistent collections: PersistentList, PersistentSet, etc. They extend immutable collections and provide efficient modification operations that return new instances of persistent collections with the modification applied. The returned collections can share parts of data structure with the original persistent collections.g

old version of interfaces was not work well with existing Kotlin extensions for collection modification
