I believe "var" and "final" is better than "var" and "final var" respectively. I mentioned this before[0] but was told that a 5 letter word was too much. I disagree, I use "const" regularly in es6 even though "var" and "let" exist. Currently "final" is rarely used for local variables and I think this would encourage its use. Unlike the author, I am excited for local type inference to remove unnecessary cruft that I don't believe adds too much. Also, for many it can reduce the amount of imports. I just hope there is never return type inference. 0 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11261608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11261608
