Thank you for the response Tagir!
The intent of all three of these proposals to was to explore better ways of
providing improved interop between Streams and 3rd party collection libraries.
I agree with you on option 1. This is my least favorite option, but seemed the
most obvious shortcut and
>From my own limited experience, I've seen .collect(Supplier) often when
an explicitly mutable collection is needed, such as with ArrayList::new
or HashSet::new.
Even though you could in theory use Stream.toList() for the ArrayList
version, I don't think this is advisable as toList isn't guarantee
Hi Don,
When evaluating new APIs I always find it helpful and educational to look for cases
in real code where they might be applied, and what effect the API has at the call
site. The search need not be exhaustive, but it's probably sufficient to find a
number of representative examples. This
Hello!
1. toCollection looks too specific to be added to JDK. Essentially,
it's a shortcut for toCollection constructor and unlike toList, it
cannot add many optimizations there. So we basically save several
characters and nothing more. And toCollection collector is orders of
magnitude less used t
I looked through a few libraries and found some methods where the option #2
proposal for Steam might be useful. If the JDK had constructors for ArrayList,
HashSet and other collection types that take arrays this method would work
there as well.

I realized after sending that option 2 can be made more abstract:
default > R to(Function function)
{
return function.apply((T[]) this.toArray());
}

Hi all,
I’d like to propose adding one or two of the following methods on Stream to
cover more surface area of the Collections ecosystem, without requiring a big
increase in the size of the Stream interface. Apologies if this has come up for
discussion before.
1. Stream contents into a mutab
