Question

What are all the instances of syntactic sugar in Scala?

They are hard to search for since most/all of them are purely symbols and are thus hard to search for without

Answer 1

Special Classes: Tuples and Symbols

As mentioned by Rahul G, tuples and symbols get a slightly special syntax.

• Symbols: the syntax 'x is short for Symbol("x")
• Tuples: (p1,p2,..,pn) is short for a case class Tuplen[T1,T2,..,Tn](p1,p2,..,pn)

For example, the following two are equivalent.

val tuple1 = ("Hello",1)
val tuple2 = Tuple2[String,Int]("Hello",1)
