Hey! I was browsing reddit and saw an article with some fuel for thought. https://www.reddit.com/r/Kotlin/comments/ftnvzd/stop_scan_and_scanreduce_before_its_too_late/

Probably me being used to Rx, but

scan

is defined as an operator and is available in a variety of different languages. http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/scan.html

This reddit thread stems from the discussion we had two posts above https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0B8Q383C/p1583414524018600

this is a bad take for numerous reasons and im not gonna go on a whole rant rn, but imo scan is no less unintuitive than map, fold, or reduce to a neophyte and calling a name an “abomination” in a loud reddit post doesn’t make their point any more valid or worth considering

@Shawn, please do (going on a whole rant 🙂). We're going to discuss the naming again soon, and it would be important to consider the whole opinion spectrum.
