Hi, folks! Quick question: I know about
```aProvider.zip(bProvider) { a, b -&gt; MyData(a, b) } // Provider&lt;MyData&gt;```
but this is fine for merging two providers. What about when I have more of them? Would this be acceptable from the design perspective?
```providerFactory.provider {
    MyData(a.get(), b.get(), c.get(), d.get())
}```


Well, one of the problems is that you loose implicit task dependencies that way.

<http://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/32136|github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/32136> requests exactly that (zip for more than 2) and shows how you could do it today with an example with 6 providers.

You should be able to extend my example there for any amount of providers, it just is not really shiny :smile:

I'm good with not-that-shiny code. :innocent:
