Right now the only way to short circuit and return an element in a collection is doing an imperative for loop and breaking, or using a combination of find() with get(). If we want functional programming to take the fore-front we are still missing several features. Having a way to filter a collection for only 1 element with a break is non-existent.
I propose either a new function called **first( closure )** that can give me the first element that passes the closure syntax or enhacning the **find( closure, [ index or value] )** function which basically returns the index location of the element in the array, but what we want sometimes is the value.Attachments:
