Records were introduced in Java 14 [1]. An immutable DTO, with minimal boilerplate, that still behaves a class. Example:

record Point(int x, int y) {}

They were a preview feature until Java 16, though, so they probably haven't seen wide use yet.

Java 16 was only released within the last few weeks! (Gradle still has some trouble compiling it or running on it; Gradle 7 should be dropping soon with explicit Java 16 support.)
