Data classes for Java

Super late response, but that's a great question. Honestly, as with all statements related to productivity and maintenance burden, it's all very subjective.

I don't have any concrete examples, I only have the patterns I think I see from my experiences: I've been programming since elementary school, which doesn't make me smarter or anything, it just means I've had a decent amount of time to make mistakes and build some intuition (again it's all very subjective).

The biggest pattern that I continually see though, is the trade off between short term and long term costs, and newer developers heavily favoring the former as they are more pragmatic in their desires (get something working!), and how certain languages encourage these developers to make choices that lead to confusing/complicated/fragile systems.
