Paul King reassigned GROOVY-8498:
---------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Daniel Sun)
> Support `var` keyword of Java10
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8498
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8498
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-2, 2.6.0-alpha-4
>
>
> This is to provide compatibility with:
> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286 (Java 10)
> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/323 (targeted for Java 11)
> Java 10 provides var to allow reduced ceremony by avoiding manifest
> declaration of types for local variables for cases where type inferencing can
> be supported. Groovy already does this with "def" and has it's own approach
> for type inferencing within type-checked/compile static code. With this in
> mind, it seems to make most sense for Groovy to have "var" as an alias for
> "def" rather than closely mimic only the use cases allowed by Java.
