Given fact that Lombok is still pretty much widely used, with its under the hood functionality of essentially hacking the AST, or the fact that annotation processors write out Java code to files, or the fact that you could be using a standard library like Log4j and have a massive vulnerability on your system because someone decided that it would be a good idea if log statements could execute code and nobody said anything otherwise, or the fact that Kotlin and Groovy were literally made to address inefficiencies in Java, amongst other things....
Yeah not really sure how you came to that conclusion.
That gets to my point though. For example, Lombok isn't really necessary for a lot of stuff now, because Records give you a lot of what you would use with Lombok.
Kotlin and Groovy did come and address problems with Java, you should use use them if your employer allows it. I'm just saying that Java 21 is actually kind of fun to write.
Yes, some of the libraries have been unsafe, but that's one example of the 30 years of Java.
I just feel like Java has improved in the last twenty years. It's the engineers that haven't.
