anyOf equivalent of Kotlin Deffered

Support
1

Coroutine async returns Deferred and there are example of lazy execution and usages of await.

However how can we wait for any of the Deffered instances to complete?

In a nutshell

  // whats the equivalent of CompletableFuture.anyOf(...)?
  // is this how we do it? if so how costly is this?
  select<Unit> {
     deffered1.onAwait {}
     deffered2.onAwait {}
  }

.merge(): Flow<T> is an alternative to select(). I’ve used it to address a similar problem (get the first in a collection of deferreds to complete with a non-null value). i.e.

deferreds.map { it::await.asFlow() }.merge().first()
