Will Kotlin get syntax for list, set and map creation

[Shawn]

I mean, maybe? https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-language-feature-requests/1001/5

[Shawn]

but of all things to focus on, this really isn’t all that important

@karelpeeters damm, karel

[Shawn]

it was sitting in my clipboard, ready to go

[karelpeeters]

There's a well discussed proposal here

[karelpeeters]

And I'm on mobile too!

Back on topic, is this really such a big deal? Is listOf really that bad? It's elegant from a language-design point of view. I'll admit I was reluctant the first week or so too.

[Shawn]

having written quite a bit of python before learning Kotlin I’ll admit I kinda miss it

[Shawn]

but it really isn’t a hill worth dying on

I really like it in annotations but am hesitant about having it main code. Listof is clear even to someone not familiar with language.
