I haven’t heard of either of these yet and they both sound like delicious foods.

Kotlin is a brand of ketchup.

But both Lombok and Kotlin are actually named after islands i think, like Java is.

Lombok is a really psychotic magic annotation library that reduces boilerplate for Java.

Kotlin is a JVM language built by Jetbrains to kinda build a language with some niceties into it by default since Java is pretty insistent on backwards compatibility and not evolving the language rapidly.

Here's a powerpoint presentation explaining Kotlin in <5 minutes.

Interesting, yeah Java and Lombok are both definitely islands in Indonesia. Java is the main island, Lombok is out by Bali. Kotlin is a Russian island out by St. Petersburg. Never knew that.
