any way to write this in a more idiomatic way? (particularly the exception throwing to exit

collect {}

)

Not sure if there is one, but maybe the

Flow

has a

takeUntil

method or something similar. Then you can just do a plain

collect

on that resulting Flow…

I think you can use

first

here

Also, I’m not sure where

over

in the code-snippet comes from….

I think I’ll just use `first {}`… it is good enough

using mutable state is not really idiomatic, why do you need this

last

?

it needed to be used outside of the try{} catch () statement

first os good enough
