What’s the deal with this? I thought that children of enum classes were objects, so they should be able to be referenced statically? Why would a getter be necessary when an instance of the enum class can never change? I can’t edit the image apparently, but I’ve added one that’s more clear in the thread below

All enum constants are initialized in order when any of them is used for the first time. Since you are initializing a property of each constant whose value is immediately computed from Banana, Banana is not initialized yet. You have to use getters to make it work (just like isOrange)
