The most important changes for me with collections have to do with the change from 32 to 64 bit. When we'll be able to access more memory, it doesn't make sense any more to have a backing store that is a single array. The switching to a more advanced backing store can be done transparently based on the size. I'm also interested in hybrid forms of the classic data structures that take less memory. There are several that normally waste much memory on pointers (binary trees, double linked list, tries) And then of course a Judy Array. Stephan
