stdlib additions and deprecations in 1.5 are very good! 👍

Btw I’m curious about firstNotNullOf, am I missing something but there’s no firstNotNull()? first { it != null } is kind of tedious and I’d probably use firstNotNull() more often than firstNotNullOf()

[louiscad]

firstNotNullOf(a, b, c) is more efficient than any other alternatives though

[wasyl]

What’s a, b, c here? I thought firstNotNullOf accepts a selector 🤔 I’m just saying I’ll probably have a lot of firstNotNullOf { it } 🙂

[wasyl]

But yeah even that will already be more efficient than the alternatives

[louiscad]

Or you're right, I had a misconception of its signature.
I was thinking about a, b, and c being properties in scope of nullable types (possibly coming from several function calls, parameters or members)

[wasyl]

That’d be a ?: b ?: c no? 😄

[louiscad]

Yeah, you're totally right 😄
