[Pharo-users] Lazy vs eager initialization

If a model has a list of things.. such as a user that can/may have lots of pets, are there any real benefits to initializing the list of pets lazily? like: self pets := OrderedCollection new. vs. pets  pets ifNil: [self pets: OrderedCollection new]  ^ pets thanks! ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary Public Key: http://bit.ly/29z9fG0 #BitMessage BM-NBaswViL21xqgg9STRJjaJaUoyiNe2dV http://www.codeandmusic.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101
