Generics: Generic collections and the types they contain

Generic collections and the types they contain

var names = List<String>(); 
names.addAll(['Seth', 'Kathy', 'Lars']); 
print(names is List<String>); // true
Dart generic types are reified, which means that they carry their type information around at runtime.
Note:

In contrast, generics in Java use erasure, which means that generic type parameters are removed at runtime. In Java, you can test whether an object is a List, but you can’t test whether it’s a List<String>.
