Is this pyramid of death style of receiving from channels pretty common or am I doing something silly?

launch {
        whileSelect {
            channel.onReceive {
                when (it) {
// do stuff
                 }
             }
        }
}

You don’t need whileSelect here. Use for (msg in channel)

the for (msg in channel) will stop looping once there are no events though, correct? I want to continue listening on the channel even if there are 0 events.

[elizarov]

Listening for what?

[withoutclass]

More events. I’m using the channel like an Rx.Observable in that I expect to receive events as actions happen on the UI of an application, such as onClick { channel.send(event) }. It works very well, though maybe I’m doing it incorrectly.

Ok thank you for the help 🙂
