There's no reason why you can't do that now* for your own code without 
actually changing the language. Slap an @Var or, if you really don't 
like mutability, @Mutable on any variable you want to be non-final. I 
imagine it would be easy to modify javac or similar to do the checking.

*With the exception that you'll need final on variables for the 
soon-to-be-anomalous local class behaviour, final field semantics, 
compile-time constant inlining and reflection.
