On performance: I'm sure Guava is optimized so that its methods always return a singleton. In principle, the semantics of lambdas and method references are abstract enough that you shouldn't have to worry about that. In practice, I wouldn't expect clever optimizations like that (e.g., turning every "x -> true" into the same object) in the near future. TO be clear: with our implementation, every invocation of the statement Predicate p = () -> true; always does return the same object. What Dan is talking about is something different; if two places in the code have "equivalent" lambdas, whether they would be "interned".
Interning object is premature optimization, anyway. The VM has trouble to remove allocation of interned objects.
