Re: [Pythonic] Are empty tuple and array literals syntactically incompatible?

[Axel Kittenberger <axkibe@...>]

In the statement x = [[]], the outer tuple is not empty. Therefore I do not think this presents a conflict.

As Luiz said, [[ ]] denotes already a (multiline) string constant in Lua.

So x would be an empty string, or the suggested array literal containing an empty array literal.
