Records: Data classes in Java | Bye Lombok? | Explanation + Tutorial

[@gustavolobos3653]

Hi, Mati. I liked the video. It's very clear. Could you please explain better why you avoid using Lombok?

Hi, thanks for the comment! I will make a follow up video about what I think about Lombok

A small inaccuracy... records haven introduced in JDK 14 as preview feature and finalized in JDK 16...

That's a good introduction to Records, but you don't really say why you think this is better than Lombok. Not only moving away from classes you lose the powers of inheritance, but without Lombok you lose builders, which are awesome if you're dealing with models with many fields. Not to mention records' alternative to overriding equals/hashcode when not using all fields is much more verbose than using Lombok annotations.

Thanks for the comment! I’m preparing a new video on way I’ve started to avoid Lombok

Very cool. Looks like Kotlin

[@programmingwithmati]

Yes it does!

The learning gap between Java and kotlin is getting smaller and smaller
