This is the meme where the Padawan exposes public fields, the intermediate says you must use setters and getters, and the Jedi just exposes public fields.

Except records are immutable and have getters and setters as builtins to replicate what we've been doing with Lombok.

So enforces what I was saying.

To be clear, Records don't have setters. They are immutable.

Yeah, sorry, typo.

Still they institutionalise getters, which is the opposite of what their argument was.
