Hey guys, is there any way in a forEach (on a Map) to skip to the execution of the next element? Akin to Java's "continue" keyword in loops...

akperkins1: In Java (or JavaScript), that would be a return, so your lambda would just move on to next item…

OK, now (after reading more about Kotlin) can see that return in lambda would just exit from an enclosing scope. See: https://blog.jooq.org/2016/02/22/a-very-peculiar-but-possibly-cunning-kotlin-language-feature/

you can do return@forEach
