Event:...::Query(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Event::Distributor::Query — bestie, it's an event that collects a result 💖

(and yeah, the page header calls it Event:...::Query(3pm) because the name got squished, but you know her 🫶)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: this subclass of Event::Distributor::_Event is the friend who goes around the group chat asking everyone one by one, no skipping 💅

It invokes each of its subscribers in turn, and yields:

• the first successful and non-empty result — like, first one to actually say something useful wins, and we stop there 👑
• or a failure if they all fail 😭 like every single one, no survivors
• and if there are no subscribers at all? it yields a (successful) empty result ✨ lowkey iconic, an event with no audience just vibes

no cap: the first one that succeeds AND isn't empty is the one that gets through. empty-but-successful from a subscriber doesn't count as the answer — it keeps asking. 🎀
