Package orc.runtime.values Description

Representations for Orc types which don't have direct analogues in the host language (Java).

To promote efficient interoperability and as a matter of convenience, Orc adopts the value representation of its host language. Some distinguished subsets of of values are chosen as Orc's "native" types and given special meaning to the Orc interpreter.
