Are there any methods included in Scala to convert tuples to lists?

Question

I have a Tuple2 of List[List[String]] and I\'d like to be able to convert the tuple to a list so that I can then use List.transpose().

Answer 1

Using Shapeless -

@ import syntax.std.tuple._
import syntax.std.tuple._
@ (1,2,3).toList
res21: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3)
@ (1,2,3,4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3).toList
res22: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3)

Note that type information is not lost using Shapeless's toList.
