Also note that in Java
Integer[] o = { 3 }; and int[] o = { 3 };
both work but
Object o = { 3 };
does not compile because the syntax '{' '}' with no explicit array type
do inference (and here Object is not an array so the inference fails).
Supporting only explicit array initialization seems to be the right choice !
do if I understand this right parrot will now (after another great
change from Daniel Sun) not support Integer[] o = { 3 }.
But I think we could support the cases described here. Only thing we
have to do is if the declaring side uses an array type. So I would parse
Integer[] o = { 3 } as a declaration with the right side being a
closure expression and then transform it to an array init... or fail if
the left side is no array type.
