Hi Ole, can you explain why you think that the addition of lombok brings any benefit to our users?
>From my point of view, lombok can help developers by taking over some tedious tasks, but this is quite irrelevant in the case of CM as the majority of work goes into algorithm design and verification rather than in writing getters/setters (which btw has pretty good IDE support). So this would just add additional complexity and the gain is very unclear.
