[Bug] Assigning empty arrays to a typed array

[Luna-Klatzer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

I am following the documentation's guide

• I have read the documentation

This issue exists in the latest version

• I am using the latest version

Current Behavior

When creating a variable of type Array<T> you usually want to immediately assign it an empty array, which then can be modified and extended. This though does not work in the current version as an empty array is of type Array<any> and conflicts with any given variable:

var x: Array<nun> = []; // <- fails

Expected Behavior

The type checker should not throw a type error for an empty array assignment.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Write an assignment expression which assigns an empty untyped array (Array<any>) to a variable with an array type other than Array<any>
2. View type error in console
