Aloha, Spring fans! I'm on vacation, reporting to you from the paradise-like island of Maui, Hawaii, and hoping that you're having a wonderful day! My family and I love Hawaii. It's brimming with beauty and serenity, and while the island of Maui, in the state of Hawaii, is very small, the islands are humbling. They make you feel so very small.

In Java 8, records were not even in preview yet. That initial support was based on reflection tricks to create Java records and populate them with data, without having access to the java.lang.Record…
