Kotlin 1.5 introduces new functions on collections: firstNotNullOf(OrNull).

They transform each element one by one, and return the first non-null result.
If no such result exists, firstNotNullOf throws an exception, *OrNull returns null.

this is the greatest function name I have seen in a long time

`firstNotNullOfOrNull`  is a proper mouthful

Right up there with `AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean`.

I like it. It’s cool that the name was chosen for consistency with the other method names instead of opting for a shorter name. If anything, it serves as an incentive to avoid nullable types, in which case it doesn’t need to be used. :slightly_smiling_face:

oh my... i wrote something similar usong high order functions haha
