I think named parameters would be a great addition

For now, I use Lombok's @Builder annotation. It makes it much easier to create and copy a record, where non-assigned attributes are set to default.

Example:

   var bmw = Car.builder().make("BMW").build()
It also has a practical toBuilder() syntax that creates a copy of the original record, with some attributes changed

   var other = bmw.toBuilder().year(2024).build()
