Hey. I was wondering why fold and reduce on Flow are terminal operators.

I imagine collecting a hot flow, e.g. SharedFlow and applying reduce operator to accumulate the observed values as they appear. IMO it should simply return another Flow just like map operator.

Do you know of any alternatives to what I imagined?

reduce returns a single value, how can that not be terminal?

[ephemient]

perhaps you are thinking of runningFold?

[azabost]

You're right. I imagined the operator would emit the accumulator every time instead of a single value 🤔

Yes, I think I was looking for runningFold. Thanks a lot.
