I’m curious if anyone knows why the Scala library stops at 22 with its tuple type Tuple22?
Does the mysterious number 22 have a special hidden meaning?
Is this an internal joke of some kind?
This question is not new, see http://scala-programming-language.1934581.n4.nabble.com/Why-tuples-only-to-22-td1945314.html or why FunctionN(0-22) ProductN(1-22) TupleN(1-22)?
AFAIK there is no “technical” explanation for it, they simply had to stop somewhere.
