What is the difference between `channelFlow` and `...

# coroutines

[svenjacobs]

What is the difference between channelFlow and callbackFlow? Both have the same signature except latter is inline. Is this the only difference?

[Dominaezzz]

They even have the same implementation.

[Dominaezzz]

You supposed to use callbackFlow for setup up a flow wrapper for callback-based listeners and such.

[svenjacobs]

And why am I supposed to use callbackFlow in this case and not channelFlow? 😉

[Dominaezzz]

And use channelFlow when you find yourself needing concurrent emit.

[streetsofboston]

Yeah, it seems the names are different based on intent, not on implementation 😀

[svenjacobs]

So both functions are interchangeable regardless of the use case?

[Dominaezzz]

Pretty much.
