[zanata-devel] Contrarian thoughts on null pointers, null objects, empty collections and Optional

[Sean Flanigan]

Here's that article I mentioned.  Some interesting ideas in here.

Whether or not you agree with welcoming back nulls, the idea of treating
empty collections as an important special case might have some merit.

The follow-up articles "Is it Really Better to 'Return an Empty List
Instead of null'?" are quite good too.
