Is there some clever way in Arrow to check a list of nullable values if any of them != null
Apart from the standard syntax:

myVal1 != null || myVal2 != null || myVal3 != null

This is ok, but I would like to write something more expressive, like:

listOf(myVal1, myVal2, myVal3).anyNotNull()

[Lukasz Kalnik]

Do I have to use Option for this?

[Alejandro Serrano Mena]

listOf(myVal1, myVal2, myVal3).any { it != null } would work

[Lukasz Kalnik]

Oh yes, that's quite simple 😄

[Lukasz Kalnik]

Thank you!

[Alejandro Serrano Mena]

my pleasure!

[Alejandro Serrano Mena]

also listOfNotNull(myVal1, myVal2, myVal3).isNotEmpty() could work

[Lukasz Kalnik]

I think the first one is clearer for the reader at first glance
