Re: Attributes and constructor property promotion

My opinion on constructor property promotion (CPP) is that it's something for small value object classes and should probably be regarded as code-smell on larger classes. At the same time, annotations belong with more complex objects and not so much with small "struct-like" classes.

Just wanted to chime in on this: I can foresee already the impact CPP will have on dependency injection: sometimes you just have complex business logic with lots of (auto-wired) dependencies and have to pull in n+1 classes into the constructor. Currently 5+ deps create 3*(5+) codelines for not much value. My point is that I see much more value _outside_ of "value object classes" with auto-wiring, reducing boilerplate _a lot_. That said: I err on the side of forbidding it, if we've no clear consensus how to do it! thanks, - Makrs
