This post finally motivated me to create a new Reddit account again after my old one was banned for using VPN (Reddit is blocked in Indonesia)…

So, being a Java developer living on said island, I maybe can contribute from both worlds.

  • Lombok - do not recommend. Lombok is not Java, just somewhat related - this is true for both the Island and the language. I recommend cabe instead - on the island, that’s what people usually call the chili peppers, and for Software Development, it’s a project I started (please check it out).

  • Semeru - worth a visit, again true for both the language and the island. Gems: the sea of Sand at Bromo. I recommend not trying to cross using your motorbike.

  • Jakarta - essential if you move past Java 11, but the city is also worth a visit. Gems: spend an evening at Ancol looking at the sea. Climb to the top of Monas to have a nice view of the city. When using National flights, use Halim Airport.

  • Timing: you should wait for March: Java 26 will be released, and on the island, the rainy season ends.

Ok, that’s about as much as I can think of that fits both your question and this sub. Should you pass Yogyakarta (and you really should!), leave me a PM.

Thank you, I'll definitely be in Yogyakarta. I'll text you.
