True, but that only pushes the question of value down the line.
I'm curious about lenses because Java did have a serious problem that required a solution: working with "simple" data correctly was difficult. The chosen solution was ADTs, so we did buy into that. But the approach being explored for transforming records (https://github.com/openjdk/amber-docs/blob/master/eg-drafts/...) only works one level at a time rather than for an entire path. So I wonder how valuable it would be to have a solution for paths. If the answer is that it's mostly valuable for an approach we haven't bought into yet, then we might not need to consider it just yet.
Lenses work today. And I think the value class feature will be awesome.
