Paul King updated GROOVY-8582: ------------------------------ Summary: CLONE - Support `var` keyword of Java10 (documentation) (was: CLONE - CLONE - Support `var` keyword of Java10 (documentation)) > CLONE - Support `var` keyword of Java10 (documentation) > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-8582 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8582 > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
