use flatMap(::identity) for now

[Francesco megna]

for what?

[abendt]

flatMap(::identity) did not work for me as the types do not seem to be right. had to change it to:

listOf(...).flatMap { identity(it).k() }

[pakoito]

hmmm

[pakoito]

wait

[pakoito]

listOf(...).flatMap(::identity) should work because listOf has that function on the stdlib

[pakoito]

don’t tell me it doesn’t return List there

[pakoito]

dang

[pakoito]

if it doesn’t, identity(it) isn’t necessary, identity just returns the same parameter passed, it’s a cached version of { a -> a }

[abendt]

true, using flatten() or flatMap(::identity) from stdlib works.

however i tried the flatMap from arrow. this requires the form i posted above

[pakoito]

yes, flatMap may be defined for ListK probably
