We don’t write it, and we don’t read it, so it never needed to be there. Boilerplate is our arch-enemy, and I’m glad we have Groovy and Scala and Kotlin to attack it.

If it really bothers you, there is lombok. But I will tell you something, the complexity of most programs will require many lines of code that you simply can’t decrease anymore. Whether it is more by a tiny tiny factor doesn’t matter, over performance, observability and maintainability of a language - though being on the JVM, the mentioned languages can tick all of them (I’ve only written groovy with gradle, but due to the lack of typing, I though of it as more of a scripting language)
