Hi,
The recent http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg59301.html
discussion
made me wonder why did we decide not supporting the final keywords for
properties as it would provide an easy way for read-only attributes (const
would be a better choice in performance wise, but then you can only set it
in your declaration where no dynamic expression is allowed.)
I would like it to work the same way as it does in java(
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-4.html#jls-4.12.4)
eg.
you can set the initial value either in the declaration or later on, but
after it is set, you can't change it, trying to do that would create a
recoverable fatal error (or throwing an exception which extends
RuntimeException).
What do you think? Would this be viable? Is there any still-present reason
why we shouldn't support that?
