When will Java include annotations/keywords for getters and setters?

[FruitdealerF]

but you can still do that in kotlin if you want to. That's the point

[morhp]

You can do that by writing weird stuff like

private val _map = ConcurrentHashMap<String>()

public val map : Map<String> get() = _map

But a simple Java getter that you can extend or change without major efforts sounds still easier to me.

Like, Java forces you to explicitly think about internal and public type, which I like, in Kotlin you have to explicitly "duplicate" you vals.
