What was the difference between

channel.from

and

channel.of

?

channel.from

would take either a bare list of items e.g.

channel.from(1,2,3,4)

or a list

channel.from([1,2,3,4])

and both of these would return the same channel.

channel.of

does not flatten the list out into the individual elements (this is done using

channel.fromList

now).

ch_from_bare = channel.from(1,2,3,4)
ch_from_bare.view{v -> "from_bare:${v}"}
from_bare:1
from_bare:2
from_bare:3
from_bare:4


ch_from_list = channel.from([1,2,3,4])
ch_from_list.view{v -> "from_list:${v}"}
from_list:1
from_list:2
from_list:3
from_list:4


ch_of_bare = channel.of(1,2,3,4)
ch_of_bare.view{v -> "of_bare:${v}"}
of_bare:1
of_bare:2
of_bare:3
of_bare:4


ch_of_list = channel.of([1,2,3,4])
ch_of_list.view{v -> "of_list:${v}"}
of_list:[1, 2, 3, 4]

Thanks Arthur, I think I follow.

channel.of

treats the list as a single element and

channel.from

iterates through each element of a given list?

Yes basically
