Most coding standards don't like that, and if you can't autoformat your code then you have bigger problems. I do agree that some of the problems are cultural rather than inherent to the language, but even if we do that,

    public class Potato {
      private final int size;
      public Potato(int size) { this.size = size; }
      int size() { return size; }
    }

makes poor reading in comparison to

    class Potato(val size: Int)

(I didn't mean a thousand getters/setters in a single class, but across the codebase as a whole)
