This reads like Lombok all over again. If you want extension methods on the JVM, do yourself a favor and pick kotlin. I know I know, stuff like this exists for when corporate policy insists on sticking with java, but a corporate policy that at the same time rejects kotlin but allows bastardizing java like this it's a broken corporate policy. The good news however is that stuff like this can be an excellent tool to put pressure on that kind of policy ("if we don't get to use the good stuff we'll use the bad stuff!") and if it was made for that use case, I'll wholeheartedly applaude. That being said, I'd really, really love to see the kotlin treatment applied to other languages, stuff that doesn't have actual kotlin waiting on the sidelines. Once I got used to the ease of left-to-right provided by kotlin context method funnels it's really painful to go back to nested if blocks (even in languages like typescript that apply the type inference of the conditional to the nested block just fine).
