A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

while investigating coroutines `Flow`  API a colleague noticed that there are several operators (e.g. `mapLatest`) still experimental. What would be your recommendation about those? Is it safe to adopt them? Is there typically a migration supported in case of deprecation?

It’s not safe to adopt them if your code is published as a library, because consumers of the library can change the version of the coroutines library out from under you.  `@Experimental` means the API is subject to breaking changes, so that could cause your code to fail at runtime.

If your code is for an app, not a library, then it’s not so much a question of “safety” as whether you’re willing to deal with having to change your code to fix API breakages the next time you upgrade your kotlin version.
