collectFirst

caseにマッチした最初の値を返す、というもの。

scala> List(1,2,3).collectFirst{ case 2 => "two" }
res1: Option[String] = Some(two)

scala> List(1,2,3).collectFirst{ case 4 => "four" }
res2: Option[String] = None

Scalaコレクションメソッドメモ(Hishidama's Scala collection method Memo)

実装を見たら、こんな感じ。PartialFunctionを使っているようで。前半でリストをごにょごにょし、後半でBの関数でごにょごにょしているっぽい。ごにょごにょってなんだよ、馬鹿野郎。

      case _: GenIterable[_] => self.toIterator   // If it might be parallel, be sure to .seq or use iterator!
      case _ =>                                   // Not parallel, not iterable--just traverse

        return None
    }
    // Presumably the fastest way to get in and out of a partial function is for a sentinel function to return itself
    // (Tested to be lower-overhead than runWith.  Would be better yet to not need to (formally) allocate it--change in 2.12.)
