Great color scheme, bad font imo. The inner curving of every letter is weird. Would suggest something like Poppins (OFL):  Or more Apple like with 'Inter' (OFL):  

 IBM Plex Sans (OFL) could do too.

You won't notice the benefit if you've never actively practiced the `var` thingy. I've been working with Go, Rust and other languages that abandoned the `Type type = new Type();`...

There are no performance leaks, gains, decreases. It's all on compiler and syntax level.

@geNAZt What are your thoughts on this?

> intellij postfix completion makes typing this also much easier You mean by doing `new FooType()` and then `.var` which will automatically generate the variable for you?

But that would mean inconsistency. Heavy inconsistency, kinda. And for such refactoring, it be probably just one commit.

I'd say, if you'd like to use newer JVM features and integrate them over time, sure why not? I'm still not pleased thinking about having different local variable declaration styles...

Oh, yeah, `Optional`s are special. I enjoy having `Optional`s around but I'm also afraid that too many `Optional`s are destroying the "workflow" of implementing feature X by having to check...
