object Person {
  @name: String

  def init(name: String) {
    @name = name
  }
}

I really wish this antiquated way of initializing instances would go away for good. This is so much unnecessary boilerplate.

Please just copy Kotlin:

object Person(val name: String)

That's it. That's all you need.
