Hello folks.

This is my first rant ever here, although it may not be a 'standard' one. Am I the only poor soul who finds Java Enterprise annotations (the fucking @DoSomething) the zenit of antiesthetic and unreadable code?

I fear I may be alone in this battle.

@AppleLover Probably by using additional parameters for functions when CDI is needes. Just a silly thought, but I can't stand those annotations. Sorry Java EE devs :/

I'm definitely not fond of Java EE, it's largely obsolete at places I'd want to work so I'd lump its annotations in with it.

That said, I wouldn't want to write Java without the annotations from lombok, slf4j, guice, dagger, spring* etc as they routinely eliminate boilerplate and provide a well-known consistent reusability mechanism.

Readability is a per team thing, and ultimately I just go with whatever the established style is, and expect it to be checked by team or org configured sonar/stylecheckers as part of that contract.
