Hi!You might note that what you've just provided an example of is not, in fact, a type specifier. It is a literal. For a similar reductio ad absurdiam, I might as well give an example from C - a struct literal: foo = {7, 5, create_list(), {"this is a string"}} It serves no usefulness to the conversation here. This is about type specifiers, not literals. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/Dictionary<int, string>[] foo <-- Is that *really* what you want an array of int->string dictionaries to look like? Really?In every (popular) dynamic language on a planet (Perl, Python, Ruby, Javascript, Lua, Groovy) it looks roughly like that (within syntax variations): foo = [Dictionary()] I wonder why it is enough for them? Are they all missing something very important?
