We have seen the Future class in a previous publication, we can now start learning a bit more about the Stream class. In fact, the Future.asStream() method was already there to show a quick example how work a Stream.
What a difference with a Future? Well, a Future is dealing with only one event, a Stream deals with a sequence of events. This sequence of events can be created using yield*. In this case, the function needs to be marked with async*, and will return a Stream<E> where E is the event type. In short, you can see these objects like an Iterable with side effects.

Like for the Future class, I will try to take few interesting methods/constructors from the Stream class and give some example with use cases.
