Arrayless Arrays

Have you ever dreamed about a programming language without arrays? It's your lucky day.

Project inspired by worse arrays.

Example

public class Example
{
    public static void main(final String[] args)
    {
        final ArrayFactory factory = new ArrayFactory();

        final Array<String> stringArray = factory.getObjectArray(String.class, 10);
        stringArray.set(0, "it works");

        final BooleanArray booleanArray = factory.getBooleanArray(10);
        booleanArray.setBoolean(0, true);
    }
}

Only one nanosecond lose on each set operation in comparison to native Java arrays.
