What do you think of using coroutines BroadcastChannel for that purpose ? https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines.channels/-broadcast-channel/index.html

You publish with

channel.send(event)

Multiple consumers can subscribe with

channel.consumeEach { event ->
    // Handle the event
}

Actually BroadcastChannel is what I need. But as you may know, it's experimental yet and might have breaking changes in the future.

You may stick with Rx `PublishSubject`/`PublishProcessor` for now, it is roughly equivalent

Yeah, it seems to be the best available option for me. Thanks.
