Why there is LinkedListType but no ArrayListType?

Linkedlist type was created to mirror the Java's LinkedList. That is to say a linkedlist is a subtype of deque and stack, whereas list is not. Having "arraylist" type doesn't make much sense, since arraylist is an implementation.

I just checked, the construction linkedlist<int> l = new linkedlist<int>; works, although MPS reports an error (not applicable in the context). If that's what you meant by "doesn't work", it's fixed. Thanks for reporting!

Dmity,

linkedlist<int> l = new linkedlist<int> can't be generated because there is no generator for linkedlist as a type. I've created an issue for that (http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/MPS-8174)

P.S.: sorry, haven't seen Fedor's answer before I wrote mine :-)

Yeah, I noticed that too, albeit a little too late.

Which makes Dmitry's feedback even more valuable.
