There is no engineering rationale for your concern, and saying "it seems" is a weasel-wording for "I have decided that it is", with an implication that somehow this is not your personal and unfounded opinion. Each programming language has to be taken according to its own lights. I don't know how you have decided that this idiom is "inconsistent", or what "consistent" is in your world, but in fact the syntax is entirely consistent. It is consistent with the definition of the language. > why not like > > HashMap<> function = new HashMap<String, Type[]> Because that is not legal syntax in Java. > Why declare function as a type at all. Umm, what? Everything in Java has a type. What language did you think we are discussing? It's also not usually a great idea to mix arrays and generics in Java. -- Lew
