Oh sweet jesus finally collection literals. Why did it take more than 10 years to decide to bring in something so convenient? One reason I sometimes find Java repulsive is the fact that it takes so much redundant code to do something so simple. Why do they hold back on such syntactic sugar?
- smcj 15y agoOh god. Please no, collection literals are the worst idea ever. Making up special rules for some special classes in a language? What the fuck!?

Here's the doc on Collection Literals, BTW. https://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddv8ts74_4cbnn5mhj https://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddv8ts74_4cbnn5mhj Collection Literals are actually better than string literals, because they only enforce an interface, not an implemenation.
