What's a structured type? Something that has fields or elements?

Records, arrays and hashmaps are structured types; in contrast to original Oberon, Luon has no pointer type, but reference semantics instead.

  • So Luon has reference types and value types, and reference types are always nullable?

    • Yes, but value types are only basic types. Structured types only have reference semantics and are nil by default.
