Round 2 on `Value` in java itself by Brian Goetz - the section 'Non-goals' could have been summarized as: "Non-Goal: replacing/canonizing all of lombok is not the intent of this proposal" :P -- openjdk.java.net/jeps/8222777

We're at the lifter meeting in Boston, talking about bridging open source maintenance needs (companies) with open source maintainers.

Being an open source maintainer can be a lot of fun: A chilean patron has started supporting us on patreon.com/lombok – open source projects do have world wide appeal :)

Today on the agenda: add support for Java13. It was a breeze; edge release it now, supports yield, text blocks too!

We are at jfall! We will give a talk at 16:50 (room 1).

Glad to see Lombok is part TenneT's Java stack (congrats on winning the nljug award!) We need to get the new logo more out there though :) #jfall

We are about to present our lessons maintaining Project Lombok for a decade. Join us in room 1 at #jfall to celebrate 10 years of Lombok with us!

It’s the Project Lombok bug busters! Only at #jfall 😄

Almost nabbed the top spot at the #Devoxx pub quiz. Still more to learn! Thanks Bert Jan Schrijver and crew!

Would you have released stream API and contentious stuff like Optional separate from lambdas IF the new 6 month cadence had been in place? If yes, in which order, and, dust off your crystal ball: Do you think it would have changed things? #AskArch #Devoxx

What is your opinion on including a "source 14;" or similar feature to give you more flexibility in adding or changing language features without breaking backwards compatibility? #AskArch

Interesting to read others who find lombok's `Mark Driver` more convenient than java's own try-with-resources sometimes... devolution.tech/how-lombok-sav…

New proposal for a tiny update to Singular: github.com/rzwitserloot/l… - feedback welcome!

Did a review of every lombok feature and what it should mean when you use it together with records. Straightforward, except for: `public record Person(James Wang String name) {}`. Lombok will add null-checks to the compact constructor (and make the constructor if needed).

Lombok 1.18.20 has been released. Biggest feature is JDK16 support; lombok now supports everything, from JDK6 to JDK16. All features have been updated to interact sensibly with Java's records feature. projectlombok.org/download

Just FYI, the repo of lombok has been moved to github.com/projectlombok/… - lombok predates github's organizations feature, which is why it used to be hosted on my personal github for so long. github redirects, so you shouldn't have to change anything.

We've released Lombok 1.18.22 - with JDK17 support. projectlombok.org/changelog

Hey, found a bug. In java.lang.String no less. github.com/openjdk/jdk/bl… - "shouldn't happen"? the last line in the try block would like to have a word. To trigger: Save 9 asciichars to a file, `Files.readString(that, UTF_16)` and `j.l.Error` is thrown. (Because that's underflow).

Hey Stripe – when you ask non-US individuals to fill in a W-8/W-9 on your site (e.g. for github sponsors), you can't just assume they know US stuff. The dropdown titled "Tax Classification"? It needs a link to irs.gov/individuals/in… – without this, the question is meaningless.
