To quote @Retra in this thread: "I feel it is important for writing code to be fun". IMO, programming is fun when you are solving "business" problems, not writing boilerplate or handling a language's myriad edge cases.
I kind of agree, but I also find it curiously self-indulgent that as a profession software engineers feel entitled to discard technologies and methodologies because they are "not fun". Can you imagine civil engineers or electrical engineers saying that? They might enjoy working with certain technologies but would consider it highly unprofessional to demand that their projects be "fun" over other considerations.
NB: Groovy might be the closest thing to "LombokScript"
