One of my biggest annoyances in Scala is not having literal syntax for sequences and maps. The language seemingly tries to have every syntax convenience that's ever existed in every language, even when they conflict with each other and cause confusion, and then misses the most basic one.

I've been told that it's because "how would it know which specific sequence and map class you want", but it already has Seq() and Map() which give you the default immutable sequence and map classes, so obviously a literal syntax would give you the same one.
