I prefer this (Scala):

That's quite less readable. Scala sometimes has some unreadable syntax. Python has taught me how much useful a readable syntax is :-) Designing languages requires to find a balance between several different and opposed needs.

how about this hypothetical syntax:

list ~= [0..10];

list ~= array(iota(0, 10));

I'm not sure what the type of "list" is supposed to be, but this works today for arrays:

What does iota mean?
