My argument was not in relation to the JEP, but a Groovy user story, in relation to you saying, that I would not see a difference between def and var, apart from when assigning a value later on. But assigning a value later on is _exactly_ what I am going to do when I use var - because otherwise I would use final instead of var... -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --------Von: Jochen Theodorou <blackd...@gmx.org> Datum: 08.03.18 13:32 (GMT+01:00) An: dev@groovy.apache.org Betreff: Re: About supporting `var` of Java10+

But the later variant is not part of the JEP. In Groovy what you wrote is an alias for final Object x = new Foo() bye Jochen
