Does this return a new map everytime it's read?

interface Foo {
    val bar: Map<String, String>
        get() = mapOf("1" to "1")
}

I would say yes but not sure

[randomcat]

Yes

As a side note, if you want it to not return a new map every time it's read, you can use the lazy delegate:

val bar: Map<String, String>
  by lazy {
    mapOf("1" to "1")
  }

Oh nice, thanks @Russell Stewart

[Russell Stewart]

No problem!

[Lilly]

@Russell Stewart I get

Delegated properties are not allowed in interfaces

[Russell Stewart]

Oh, right. Sorry. My mistake; I forgot that it's an interface.

[Lilly]

I guess you have overseen the interface

[Lilly]

Alright

You can cache map in a top level property (outside of the interface)
