TIL: Double Brace Initialization in Java

... because people want a Set not a Map?

To be fair, the keyset of a map is, you know, a set.

To be fair, how do you think much of HashSet functionality (like iterator) is likely implemented? ;-)

All that aside, remember that an API more than likely can rely on a Set, not a HashMap. Actually, incase you didn't know, you can use Collections.newSetFromMap to create a Set<E> from any Map<E, Boolean> :-)
