It would be nice if IDE would know it's a conflated channel and not put the suspend arrow indicator when calling send() on it... maybe it was better a specific type than an initialization parameter

It’s not nice, because send() is still suspend function, even if it invoking very fast

is it? but the documentation says it won't suspend and offer returns always true

if you know that it’s conflated channel, just

offer()

, if for some reason you want to avoid suspend indicator

true

it won’t suspend

it’s just return immediately, but it still suspend function and cannot be called out of suspending lambda

ok

Let me steal this thread with similar question: Does that mean that

offer

and

send

are competely identical with conflated channel or is

send

still slightly more expensive since it needs to drag whole coroutine machinery with it?

Yes, offer is a bit more efficient because doesn’t create suspend point as send

so basically we should alwys use offer on conflated channels?

I wouldn’t say that “we should”
