If you already know Java, Kotlin for Java Developers is free and created by the Kotlin team.

I do think there’s a gap between hibernate and jooq that needs filling. I love the ease of querying for relational data with hibernate, along with support for validation annotations. On the flip side I love the jooq dsl, code gen, typed queries, and the flexibility you get from it, but there’s really no easy way to plug in validation annotations and querying for nested relational data requires a lot of effort. Based on a brief look of the docs, it seems like this library intends to fill that exact niche. Interested in checking it out when I get some time

Much needed change, I wish they made it apply for all go versions though

The backwards compatibility promises of Go definitely makes upgrading a breeze. Java is pretty much in the same boat (except it maintains bytecode compatibility instead of source). When working with languages that don’t offer these promises it’s always a nightmare to upgrade to newer versions.

the developers don’t have to of left the team to make it legacy code
