I'm relatively new to kotlin and we want to introduce it to our (big) Java/Spring application. I was wondering if kotlin-jpa is the way to go when working with hibernate? It makes it easier to define @Entity classes as data-classes, but is that the best way 🤔

#spring + don’t use data classes for entities because JPA doesn’t work well with the generated equals/hashCode functions.
