Lombok has always been a hacky set of language extentions. It says a lot about the need for more language features in Java that developers have been willing to resort to using it. Adding val and var to Java will be a big step forward.

Sure, no language is perfect but I've never ran into problems using Lombok in production. I'd gladly welcome the majority of its features being part of the core language though! :)
