Need some guidance on web frameworks for a simple project
Alternatively, you could check some micro http server, many just require a couple of lines to setup. I've even made one myself, kitteh, otherwise there plenty to choose from, spark for example is super simple.

When Project Loom is launched, will web servers use one virtual thread per request instead of os thread?
uhm i'll look into it when it's ready, then decide if use it on my small web server. Probably more for exploration and fun then for real need.

Libraries, Frameworks and Technologies you would NOT recommend
Spring boot is ok, altho i feel it only spread becouse of "spring". Small self contained http servers library existed before (they're pretty simple to make too, i did one myself), they were just not considered, in favour of big servers like tomcat etc.

JEP Draft – Derived Record Creation (Preview) – Java
The problem with this approach is that the people will have to build crutches like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder and by the time Java adds missing features all the codebases will be forever polluted with legacy workarounds that nobody will dare to remove because of backwards compatibility.
It also hinders adoption of new features as people will prefer to maintain consistency in their codebases.

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
Record builder is pretty good for making builders for your Java 17 records

I always have to bring up RecordBuilder simply because of the included Withers and it being a source generator instead of the Lombok weirdness.

How to use Java Records
The above is not particularly user-friendly. Luckily compiler plugins can provide the missing feature, most notably RecordBuilder:
-
Named Parameters in Java
For records, instead of lombok you can use https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder which is a valid annotation processor and will not break on JDK changes
-
has anyone written custom annotations using Lombok ?
In this particular case you can generate the builder with something like https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder that is both valid java and lombok-like enough

I made a java client for the todoist api
Records + Record Builder or immutables + the trick to hide the implementing class w/sealed are your friend. Both the mutability and naming conventions this generates are vomitus.
