Why not just C++?

+1. Pointers are the pain point for beginners in programming generally and sometimes for those who switch from other languages. This article is good start point for them to catch up if they need to.

As the author said: an oldie but goodie.

Good point. As far as I know, a long time to fix isn't an exception but rather a standard in such cases. That hursts even more :(

A long time ago, I thought such things don't really happen but the more experience I have less surprised I am.

jstack does only one thing but does it well :) It is one of the most useful tools while debugging JVM apps and everybody should get to know it.

Absolutely agree that Lombok increases Java readability. If I cannot use JVM alternatives like Kotlin or Scala (for whatever reasons), Lombok is a perfect tool to help beeing productive.

IMO saving one line with @Cleanup is not worth it but if the class doesn't implement AutoClosable, I think it makes code more readable too.
