PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THIS MAIL -- SEE BELOW FOR HOW TO
PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
The Java Language Team has been working on a proposal for Local Variable
Type Inference (sometimes called "var") for Java. There is a JEP draft
here:
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286
A draft specification is attached to the following issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151553
Please review the proposal, and consider providing feedback through the
survey form below.
PROVIDING FEEDBACK
------------------
Because we expect this topic to generate a large volume of (primarily
opinion-based) feedback, rather than following the usual "replies to
replies" approach on the mailing lists, we are following a more formal
mechanism for gathering input. We believe this will encourage people to
respond directly to the proposal, and will give everyone a chance to be
heard equally.
Accordingly, rather than posting your feedback here, please provide
feedback through the following survey form:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KGPTHCG
It has general survey questions, as well as an opportunity to provide
long-form questions and comments. The survey will be open for one week,
at which point we will make all the responses public, and then there
will be another round in which you can respond to any feedback raised
through this survey. There is also a section for "Questions for the
Java Language Team"; we will attempt to address these publicly after the
survey closes.
