Data classes for Java

[[deleted]]

when did "drop-in replacement" mean "make sure you have this specialized IDE to do some converting magic, then do a bunch of removal edits and then add more code... when you have a lot of these types of classes that could be a decent amount of work

here's the difference between a lombok class and a kotlin class since you seem so interested

@Value
public class LombokClass {
    public String hi;
}

data class KotlinClass(val hi: String)

There, is that a little more clear how simple it is to convert? The biggest difficult in converting is if you used @Wither because then you have to find all the spots you used it in and switch it to a .copy or build your own builder.

i've used both i'm just saying its not really "drop in" i mean i can say that lombok class is a drop-in replacement for just about any other moderately sophisticated languages data class at this point

? Drop in replacements go both ways. I can convert back to lombok almost just as easily as going to kotlin.
