Java could really used keyword arguments as a replacement of the Builder pattern:

cat = new Cat(eyes=1, heads=2, legs=4);

Too much for small classes/records imho e.g. `new Name("First", "Last")` vs. `new Name(first="First", last="Last")`

Also, IDEs can help with parameter hints when is needed.

They can be optional, like in Kotlin -- you can give name to only some (after unnamed ones).
