Java and Arrays

Java

One more thing out of the category "Java annoys me": In Java you can declare an array like that:

String[] array_of_strings = { "foo", "bar", "baz" };

but you can't do that inside a func call

someMethod({ "foo", "bar", "baz" });

not even when using an explicit cast

someMethod((String[]){ "foo", "bar", "baz" });

A smart compiler should be able to create the same code for both, I agree this can be unreadable, but that should be my choice not the language's choice.</flame>

class PHPIfy {
public T[] array(T... array) { return array; }
}

----

import static PHPify.array;

// ...

String[] foo = array("foo", "bar", "baz");

someMethod(array("foo", "bar", "baz"));

Bitteschön ... Generics, Varargs, Static Imports - wenn du auf die PHP-Syntax stehst.
