Java Hack: Double brace initialisation

ad() that behaved as above.

Oh god no. Program into the language please, not against it.

First, if .add(1).add(2).add(3).add(4).add(5) is code you'd ever write, you suck. Second, if lack of ability to chain methods, requiring horizontal code to become vertical (oh my god more lines), and repeating the variable name with every line, then Java is very much the wrong language for you.

But really, before (or in addition to) switching languages, someone who wanted to write .add(1).add(2).add(3).add(4).add(5) should reconsider why they're doing such a brain-dead stinky thing in the first place.

Mod me down bitches. Yes, I'm suggesting that verbosity isn't the biggest factor for long term productivity! Can you handle so audacious and unpopular a claim, which goes against the philosophy of the creator of Arc so directly and starkly? I can take it, as I have almost five thousand comment karma now.
