The great power of [RxJava](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava) and the similar [Reactor](https://projectreactor.io/) comes from the vast set of operators. Most of these operators like `range`, `zip`, `distinctUntilChanged` etc. can also be [implemented with Kotlin’s coroutines](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/reactive/coroutines-guide-reactive.md). However there seems to be no library that provides these methods out of the box.

Is there a library providing Rx like operators based on Kotlin coroutines?

In my opinion Kotlin Coroutinex is a work in progress, widely experimental library. For my requirements is _good enough_.

If you suffer the lack of those operators then you are free to use a supported reactive library instead of `Channel`, I tested the Reactor one and it works.
