Hi, just curious why listOf returns java.util.Arrays$ArrayList (as a mutable collection).
And at the same time, the returning list prohibits modification operations

That isn't the ArrayList you expect. It's a different one called Arrays.ArrayList that implements the List interface for Java Arrays, and hence it has a fixed length and doesn't permit add

Ah, I overlooked. Thanks
