Is drop/skip the same as a seek (like in a file) in a sequence? Any way to support seeking to a particularl location instead of doing a noop loop

[ilya.gorbunov]

In general, no. Sequences are forward-only and sequential.

[ilya.gorbunov]

Theoretically, you could create a wrapper, but it would have to memoize the source sequence entirely to support random access seek.

[asad.awadia]

Right, at which point might as well just use an array/list

[Zac Sweers]

There is a MemoizedSequence impl in the KSP plugin if you're interested. There's benefits to lazy eval

Will check that out thx
