Final in Java means the value of a variable, property or parameter will not change after its initial assignment. Values in Java can be either a reference to an object or a primitive such as an integer, double or bool. It's definitely far from useless as it asserts that the reference or value you capture in a closure is not an old version that has been replaced, this approach is a consequence of Java disallowing arbitrary pointers. IMO Java's biggest mistake here is mutability by default, which Kotlin has learned from. If you understand why it is this way it makes a lot of sense and tbh I think it promotes better code. That said I would like to see more immutability in Java and with things like Record classes you can see Java is moving in the right direction.

I am a Software Engineer who currently works in data. I have spent more than half of my career in technical leadership and this is a direction that I want to continue to grow and develop myself into. I am open to learning and working with technologies that are new to me as ultimately I consider myself a polyglot.
