Louis, sure we can do this. No problem with that. But what we are really talking
about here (as far as I understand) is a convenience. In my opinion there's no
much difference between
new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3", "4", "5"));
and
ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<>();
l.addAll(Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3", "4", "5"));
or
ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<>();
Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3", "4", "5").forEach(l::add);
etc. Thanks for collection types connectivity.
In other words I think the difference between readable and
not-so-easily-readable
code in this particular example is very subjective. What we have here is a very
special case of creating a _small_ list of easily enumerable elements. I hope
this work [1] will solve the problem or at least will make it a lot less severe.
