Pre-SIP: A Syntax for Collection Literals

[Jasper-M]

How does the new proposal weigh against the design principle that was expressed in this earlier post?

@odersky

We want to minimize the required set of the Scala library that needs to be there to support Scala, the language. An ArraySeq contains lots of operations and lots of superclasses. An Array’s definition is tiny by comparison. But An IArray would be better since we definitely do not want to mutate the values. The problem is that when enums where designed IArray did not exist yet.
