Lombok offers a clean subset of Scala's functionality, so it's only natural that the two would arise in response to the same issues. It's a natural solution where Scala is not an option (lack of familiarity, opportunity cost for the time to learn it, corporate policy, not breaking consistency in an existing codebase, or simply not wanting to use Scala for whatever reason)
and yes, Scala is relevant in more cases than Lombok. It does more, so this is hardly surprising. -- > Cédric > > > -- Kevin Wright gtalk / msn : [email protected] <[email protected]>mail: [email protected] vibe / skype: kev.lee.wright quora: http://www.quora.com/Kevin-Wright twitter: @thecoda "My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger" ~ Dijkstra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
