Hello, is

Channel

still preferred over

Flow

for use cases that involve multiple emitters/listeners for a data stream? From what I've read online, Flow is meant to be a safer alternative to Channel, but seems best used for one to one communication?

There are 2 kinds of `Flow`s: cold and hot. Cold flows wait for a consumer to subscribe before emitting, and re-emit the same sequence to each subscriber independently of each other. Hot flows could start emitting before having any subscriber, and may not send the same sequence to each subscriber. A good example is a flow backed by a callback (click event, etc).

channels and flows are not mutually exclusive

Thanks Thibault and Zak! that's very helpful
