Project Lombok, that’s who:

This has apparently caused a few people some annoyance recently 🙂

Seriously though, Lombok seems great. Where else do you get things like this:

https://projectlombok.org/features/val
and many more
https://projectlombok.org/features/all
and even more
https://projectlombok.org/features/experimental/all

In case you’re wondering how it works: magic:

Not too surprising, since hardly anyone uses lowercase class names and supporting this would make things way more complicated. (It would probably mean that if such a class is in scope, than type inference doesn’t work for that scope.)

On the other hand, var is a perfectly reasonable name for a package. Luckily that’s not ambiguous so it probably works.
