Purely functional arrays are notoriously difficult to implement and use efficiently due to the absence of destructive updates and the resultant frequent copying. Deforestation frameworks such as stream fusion achieve signficant improvements here but fail for a number of important operations which can nevertheless benefit from elimination of temporaries. To mitigate this problem, we extend stream fusion with support for in-place execution of array operations. This optimisation, which we call recycling, is easy to implement and can significantly reduce array allocation and copying in purely functional array algorithms.
If you really want to create an array rather than a list use either
String[] names = ["lucas", "Fred", "Mary"]
or
def names = ["lucas", "Fred", "Mary"].toArray()

@SafeVarargs
Is a cure for the warning: [unchecked] Possible heap pollution from parameterized vararg type Foo.
Is part of the method's contract, hence why the annotation has runtime retention.
Is a promise to the caller of the method that the method will not mess up the heap using the generic varargs argument.
MetaArray is a class that extends ndarray, adding support for per-axis meta data storage. This class is useful for storing data arrays along with units, axis names, column names, axis values, etc. MetaArray objects can be indexed and sliced arbitrarily using named axes and columns.
