Matthias Fuchs updated GROOVY-9308:
-----------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> [PARROT] Support val/let keyword, aka "final var"
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-9308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9308
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Matthias Fuchs
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'm a long time java developer and I'm used to add "final" to my variable
> definition: final var name = "a"
> I think the "var" keyword itself helps a lot, but seeing "var" and "final
> var" not being alligned properly in code makes me crazy ;)
> As we have *def* and *var* in groovy, wouldn't it be nice to have a *val* or
> *let* in groovy too, that is just a short form of "*final var*"?
> Although personally I would prefer "val" I do understand that some people
> might have problems differentiating "var" and "val", hence the "let".
> Imagine:
> {code:java}
> var destination = "Wien"
> val country = "AT"{code}
> instead of:
> {code:java}
> var destination = "Wien"
> final var country = "AT"{code}
