i also wanna give a shoutout to https://immutables.github.io/ over Lombok. No AST magic, and even optimized Jackson/GSON code.



This, a million times.

In my professional bubble Lombok is completely gone. I'll go as far and say that modern Java does not use Lombok. Smaller, focused libraries like Immutables or AutoValue, solve the problem of boilerplate for data classes.

Lombok tries to do too much across many concerns, in a fairly opaque way, and makes the code and tooling around it more magic than it needs to be.

Skip Lombok. Modern Java is better off without it...
