A java programmer, a scala dev and a ruby guy meet on #irc. Says the java guy to the… wait, this is not the beginning of a joke.
jan: Map<String,Map<String,String>> argggghh
thepete: mmm, readable code, yummy
David: Map<String, Map<String, String>> is perfectly reasonable. :)
The real problem is that Java makes you declare it twice.
jan: Map<String, Map<String, Object>> m =
new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();
mccraig: stop that !
mccraig: my eyez
David: val m = new HashMap[String, Map[String, Object]]
thepete: ze goggles;
David: or val m = ne wHashMap[(String, String), Object] if you prefer. :)
jan: what type will m have? Map?
David: val m : Map[(String, String), Object] = new HashMap
mccraig: m = {}
David: m["1"] = "stuff"; m[1] # Why is this returning nil??? :(
mccraig: yeah i know, but whatever
jan: MapWithIndifferentAccess
mccraig: my eyez hurt less
David: my eyez weep
mccraig: u can get eyedrops for that
David: You can get gogglez. :-)
jan: can i blog this? :)
