Is there Life after Lombok?

It’s 2010, the Ghostbusters theme song starts playing and two guys in matching outfits come on stage. They introduce themselves as the Boilerplate Busters. It’s the first time I hear about project Lombok. My peers are full of excitement. I however don’t really feel it. Sure, it’s nice that there is less code to maintain, but these setters and getters were never really in my way. And it probably plays some dirty tricks as well… I expected it to be just a fad, but I couldn’t be more wrong. Every single project I worked on after that day had some piece of Lombok. I decided to try to live with it, but it never gave me the warm fuzzy feeling that others apparently got from it. The time has come to tell the story of Java without Lombok.
