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

You could, of course, add an implicit conversion to your API:

implicit def value2tuple[A](x: A) = Tuple1(x)

I do find it odd that Tuple1.toString includes the trailing comma:

scala> Tuple1(1)
res0: (Int,) = (1,)
