Like Scala, another language running on the Java platform, Bobbee implements everything, numbers, characters and booleans included as objects, using the Java object equivalent for each of the otherwise non-object types. For example, an integer is ‶java.lang.Integer″. This form of implementation is called ‶boxing″: everything is in a ‶box″. All expected operations and methods are supported for such values.
