I just want to say that while this is a really nice post in its own right, I found this blog because one of its authors is the creator of this repo: https://github.com/dodie/vim-fibo-indent

  34 1,962 9.7 Scala

  The pure asynchronous runtime for Scala

  

Not the parent, but presumably it would allow for fancy monad stuff like Scala's Cats Effects[0] and Zio[1] which can make async programming easier to follow without having to introduce async/await

Properties are probably the worst feature on that list. They make it easier to work with setters, while the goal is to reduce their usage altogether! Records achieve that much better. Unencapsulated component access is standardised on classes with good contracts (construction and deconstruction are duals for records) and will work well with patterns, all while avoiding unnecessary mutation for such classes (instead, we'll have "withers" or "reconstructors": https://github.com/openjdk/amber-docs/blob/master/eg-drafts/...).

So we're killing two birds with one stone: making it easier to work with "simple data" while also reducing reliance on getters and setters.
