I read the generics entry, but I'm not really sure I understood it correctly. I tried to create a method like this:
static Str commify(L list)
{
result := ""
list[0..<list.size-1].each |v| { result += v + "," }
result += " and ${list[list.size-1]}"
return result
}
it didn't work. It said that L was an unknown type. I also tried to specify the type as L[]. It still didn't work. Is there another way of writing a method that will take a List of any type, or do I have to set the type of the list parameter to Obj[]?

To accept a list of any type use Obj?[], or Obj[] if you want to disallow nulls.
