🚀 Java Records vs Kotlin Data Classes – The Future of Immutable Data! 🤔@JetBrainsTV @Kotlin ​⁠

Java Records (introduced in Java 14) were a game-changer for reducing boilerplate… but are they better than Kotlin Data Classes? 🤨

In this video, we compare Java Records and Kotlin Data Classes to see which one is truly more powerful. 🔥

📌 Java Records:
✅ Less boilerplate than Java POJOs
✅ Immutable by default
✅ Auto-generates toString(), equals(), and hashCode()

📌 Kotlin Data Classes:
✅ Same conciseness, BUT…
✅ Supports both mutable and immutable objects
✅ Has a built-in copy() method for easy object modification
✅ Supports default values (Java Records don’t!)
✅ Works in Java 8+ (Java Records require Java 14+ 🚧)
✅ Supports inheritance! (Java Records ❌ can’t extend classes)

💬 Java Developers, What Do You Think?
Are Java Records enough, or do Kotlin Data Classes give you more power? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇
