Thanks for the thorough explanation. Now I understand where Java is heading for. The aesthetics regarding withers concerns me a bit though, because I don't like prepending anything to the name of an acceessor (a transformer, in this case?), which was why I liked the idea of properties in the first place.

I hope both Java and Kotlin can converge into a common coding style. As you said regarding C#, Kotlin's emphasis on properties makes it easier to use getters and setters and thus may hinder getting rid of them in the Java ecosystem. I'm not sure if I should support Kotlin's success at this point.
