I don’t think that is correct. If the channels provide sorted async data - you need to have a value available at every channel in order to produce a sorted merged.
The consumer needs to wait until every channel has supplied a value. Otherwise - imagine 2 channels A,B. A provides 5, B has not provided anything, so you process 5, then B provides 3, oops - out of order… > On Oct 21, 2018, at 1:26 PM, roger peppe <rogpe...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Channels can work fine for this kind of thing. > > The easiest (but probably a little less efficient) way is to write a function > that knows how to merge two channels, then use n-1 of them to merge n > channels.
