Hello, New Roku guy here. 

I want to know how to specify a function to return an array. Not associated array, an Array. It seems obvious but defining it like this doesn't seem to work. 

function Foo() as Array 
return []
end function

I looked around but I haven't found an existing problem within the internet

You basically wrote the same thing I did. The problem here is that the 'Array' part is treated as syntax array on eclipse.

Never mind, I found out through the syntax error that 'Array' is not a valid token

bar = Foo()

function Foo() as Object 
    bar = [0,1]
    return bar
end function

As far as I know you can't specify an Array, only Object
You can have:
Integer
Float
String
Boolean
Object (a catchall for Roku objects such as Array, Associative Array, other?)

Yes. Object captures all things "ro-". [ ] and { } are roArray and roAssociativeArray, respectively.

You can see the full list of types at Expressions, Variables, and Types (Oh my!)
