Even better, perhaps some kind of concurrent map? The cached results would be the same across threads, and could safely be frozen the moment they were computed.

There’s no concurrent map yet, however we consider implementing one. For now frozen Array<AtomicReference> can be used for such purpose

Cool, thanks!

Try this https://github.com/touchlab/Stately. It has frozenHashMap()

Beautiful. Thank you @hmole.

I was going to suggest Stately. It does such things.

To be clear, I think over time we'll adjust how we think about architecture, but while we're sorting it out, having some atomically mutable state in frozen objects can be usable.
