I agree, typing is not a bottleneck, repeating yourself is. All that boilerplate code in the example, shouldn’t have to be written. It’s wasted time.
The curse of OOP (java style…).
I mean why do you need to write getter and setter methods. I have wondered at the beginning of university 10 years ago, and am still wondering why you would need something like that…
You let your ide generate simple getters and setters or utilize something that generates them during a compilation process.
Who ever writes them per hand needs to utilize their tooling better or needs better tooling.
Yeah but why do I have to use an IDE to generate getters and setters in the first place? It just adds up to more mental overhead, because my brain has to process this boilerplate somehow, even if my IDE can generate it (I know it’s simple code, but it’s even simpler to not have that boilerplate code at all).
I write Java for a living and the places I’ve worked have used Lombok to cut down on the boilerplate code
