>                 Key: GROOVY-9308
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9308
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Wish
>            Reporter: Matthias Fuchs
>            Priority: Major

> 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".
