What's the difference between

flow<String> {
    emit("Foo")
}

and

channelFlow<String> {
    send("Foo")
}

Apart from the receiver, that is

FlowCollector

in the first and

ProducerScope

in the second.

A

channelFlow

allows you to

send

from any thread/context. A

flow

can only emit on the same context.

I thought is was even more ‘strict’: A

flow

can only emit on the same scope (coroutine-scope).
