I think in python it will lazely iterate through the file, and not load everything at once

right, but commenter above proposed array..

current API has two issues:
- OOM if file is large
- it takes Path instance which you need to construct and not "String file" parameter, thus hit on ergonomics
Path.of(yourString)
Also, I really don’t understand your last example - that’s literally available in java returning a List of lines. If you add a .stream().collect(joining(“\n”)), you get the whole string in one go.
