var x = 1 as readonly syntax doesn't work.

If it should work then the bug report is that it doesn't. If it shouldn't work then the bug report is that the errors it gives indicate something odd going on.

@args -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0

use Gdk

class Colors

    shared

        var black as Color is public, readonly
        var white = Color(255, 255, 255) is public, readonly

        cue init
            .black = Color(0, 0, 0)

class P

    def main is shared
        print Colors.black, Colors.white

test2.cobra(10): error: Expecting an expression. "public" is a reserved keyword that is not expected here.

var white = Color(255, 255, 255) is readonly

test2.cobra(10): error: Cannot find "readonly".

var white = Color(255, 255, 255) is readonly, public

test2.cobra(10): error: Expecting EOL, but got "," (COMMA) instead.

var black as Color is readonly
var black as Color is readonly, public

These are fine.

The 'expecting an expression' error is a dup of ticket:34 for which there are a couple of increasingly more sensible patches (from between approx 1 and 2 years ago - how the time flies) plus discussion of issue and fix path to resolution none of which seem worthy of either comment or application.
I suspect that the 'Cannot find "readonly' is from the same cause and possibly the 'Expecting EOL...' error as well ( The exact spoor of that bug varies some on exactly what construct was used after the failure point)

The readonly thing I've lost track of - ticket:100 addressed this and I thought the patch had been ignored/dropped after a little online discussion about procedure but I see theres some readonly support code in the source - so something/some part/all the patch got applied that I either missed or saw and forgot about - In either case the current status wrt the ticket isnt up to date therefore your guess is as good as mine.

So Overall, probably, this bug is a dup (:-)
