+1 with all that Paul says. Plus, we should support emitting a "Java compatibility / non-idiomatic-Groovy" warning here, to avoid people using this "for Java compatibility / quick/easy copy & paste porting of Java code"-only syntax when writing actual Groovy code (surprisingly not all developers read the complete documentation of a language, before they start using it, especially for something as base line as literal array syntax :-) ). With regards to Jochen's critique of warnings in general: I absolutely agree that too many / too picky warnings are bad. But obviously we cannot use an error here instead, so if we want to keep this syntax in the corner it belongs, warning about its use looks like the only option that would consistently work in practice to me...(same as potentially for Java lambda syntax, depending on whether one will be able to use 100% equivalent & concise Groovy closure syntax here instead). Cheers,mg

Please vote on supporting Java-like array since Apache Groovy 3.0.0. Here are the poll results from twitter and user mailing list for your reference: Sum up the poll results 24 votes in total(including my +1) 15 +1 (62.5%) 9 0 (37.5%) 0 -1 ( 0.0%) Twitter[4] 19 votes in total(not including my +1) 58% +1, 42% 0, 0% -1 User mailing list( http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Poll-About-supporting-Java-like-array-tt5749923.html ) 4 votes in total(not including my +1) 3 +1, 1 0, 0 -1 The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of at least three +1 PMC votes are cast. [ ] +1 Support Java-like array [ ] 0 I don't have a strong opinion about this, but I assume it's ok [ ] -1 Do not support Java-like array because... Here is my vote: +1 Cheers, Daniel.Sun [1] http://groovy-lang.org/differences.html [2] https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/691 [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8561 [4] https://twitter.com/daniel_sun/status/990544485196091395 -- Sent from: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Groovy-Dev-f372993.html
