> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8580
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> As part of GROOVY-8498 there is now support for the `var` keyword to provide
> compatibility with:
> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286 (Java 10)
> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/323 (targeted for Java 11)
> For dynamic Groovy, `var` is an alias 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.
