When working with Raw sockets in ktor (im doing some local network programming)... why does ktor not have a flow-able representation of incoming messages? Seems like that would be more of an idiomatic approach.

interesting point. so i guess in this case, you're making the point that incoming messages are hot.

good point!

i'm working on a small layer on top of raw sockets so I'm trying to abstract away some of the socket code to make it a bit easier to work with and so i think i might try to make it a flow myself

I believe Ktor uses Channels. These are the correct abstraction for hot data. 

Does it? maybe im missing something there. i dont see anything about channels

These are channels.



Food for thought about the hot/cold distinction:
