The issue with these new structures is they're necessarily clunky, to maintain interoperability with non-modern Java. Java's backwards compatibility is legendary, but is also why some of it's newer features are often criticized as not being as good as they could be.

It's one thing to say, "very little has been added between Java 8 and Java 21," and something else entirely to say, "newer features are often criticized as not being as good as they could be [to maintain backwards compatibility]."

I don’t think any of then is clunky - hell, pattern matching is straight better in java.
