Re: Unnecessary uses of final on local variables

+1 to removing *final* on local variables. However, regarding Ryan's example, and even if it adds some "noise" to the source code, I'm in favour of keeping the *final* keyword on local variables whenever the developer wants to explicitly show the intent of making that the variable effectively const

Hi everyone, I am proposing a new process that is aimed to address some of the issues we've recently encountered in making collective decisions. The process I am proposing would use pull request to discuss proposals. To demonstrate the process, I submitted my proposal as a pull request

Re: Unnecessary uses of final on local variables

I agree with this sentiment, and have generally only been using final on class fields and method parameters where I want to guarantee immutability as of late. However, I was at one time adding final to local variables, and I know that I have checked in code with final locals. Should we actively b

Unnecessary uses of final on local variables

According to Effective Java 3rd Edition, all local variables are implicitly made final by the JVM (and thus receiving the same JVM optimizations as a final variable) without requiring use of the keyword as long as you only set the value once. So this becomes an unnecessary use of the keyword final
