Personally, I don't think that having the "fin" keyword alternative
would be good. I think it would discourage usage, as examples get split
between "fin" and "final", and people don't already know what "fin" means.

Hi guys,
I have been wondering for a while whether Groovy developers use "def"
even if a variable is actually is "final" not only because every
Groovy example code uses "def", but also because "final" as a word is
longer than "def".
Therefore I propose to introduce the shortcut "fin" for "final" in
Groovy.
e.g. to support
class Goo {
fin String name
fin Goo gooParent
Goo(fin String name, fin Goo gooParent) { ... }
String gooGoal(fin x) {
fin y = 2*x
fin int z = x + y
}
}
Cheers,
