from inside a foreach? isn’t that returning from the lambda you’re passing to foreach

[kevinmost]

No, that would be return@forEach. return by default will return to the outermost scope

[Shawn]

ah, true

[Shawn]

so in the .forEach { return 0 } example, is return legal because it’s used to return from the outer function early?

[kristofdho]

well in this context, the forEach is the outermost scope

[kristofdho]

exactly the same happens with run, let, etc etc

[kevinmost]

it isn't, the function is the outermost scope. His example does not hit error, it returns early with the value of 0

[kristofdho]

i'm fooling around with it and there is some weird behaviour indeed
