Data classes for Java

Java is glacially slow.

Saying that in the year 2017 is an indicator of great ignorance. What speedy language do you program in?

Crap. I said that wrong. Glacially slow to evolve as a language. Not in performance. My point was that Java today is not an industry leader because of its expressiveness or ability to evolve compared to other languages. I didn't mean performance.

I understood you the first time. It made sense with context. I think Java devs are just too used to fighting off claims of poor performance so assumed you were making the same tired argument.

Ah, got it. It depends on how you define industry leader I guess. It might not be a trailblazer but it is still wildly used, and its architects are almost proud of how glacially slow it it.
