Stupid way to create a stream

[Robert Dober]

Hi list

I was just asking myself for the nth time, how come I need to write things like

          ...

          |> Stream.map(&(1))  

   

Did I completely miss out on my search for something like Enum.to_stream, or does no such thing exist. In the latter case I might think it would be a nice addition to Elixir.

Thx

Robert

What do you mean by "convert enum to a stream"? All stream/enum functions accept any enumerable - in fact there’s no one thing you could call “a stream” - all could have a different representation. What’s important is how they implement the enumerable protocol.

Functions in Enum and Stream take any enumerable. So whatever it is you're doing after the call to Stream.map(& &1) should work even with that call removed.

Thank you both, I was looking at that the wrong way. I cannot magically make a stream from en explicit list, I can only process it as a stream.
