Yes, I also returned "this" initially to avoid object allocation, but fortunately escape analysis helps get rid of them if they are indeed unnecessary. My object allocation for the new empty streams is minimal. The one thing that is still hindering me is the lazy creation of streams. $ jshell | Welcome to JShell -- Version 11.0.12 | For an introduction type: /help intro jshell> var list = new ArrayList<Integer>() list ==> [] jshell> var stream = list.stream() stream ==> java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$Head@cb5822 jshell> Collections.addAll(list, 1,2,3) $3 ==> true jshell> stream.forEach(System.out::print) 123 jshell> Does anyone use this "feature"? I hope not, but unfortunately it's the current behavior and we probably have to support it :-( ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6275
