Why is there no Tuple1 Literal for single element tuples in Scala?

Question

Python has (1,) for a single element tuple. In Scala, (1,2) works for Tuple2(1,2) but we must use Tuple1(1) to get a sin

Answer 1

Python is not statically typed, so tuples there act more like fixed-size collections. That is not true of Scala, where each element of a tuple has a distinct type. Tuples, in Scala, doesn't have the same uses as in Python.
