@most/multicast

Efficient source sharing of an underlying stream to multiple observers.

API

multicast :: Stream a → Stream a

Returns a stream equivalent to the original, but which can be shared more efficiently among multiple consumers.

stream:             -a-b-c-d->
multicast(stream):  -a-b-c-d->

Using multicast allows you to build up a stream of maps, filters, and other transformations, and then share it efficiently with multiple observers.
