Walkthrough

Fire two lookups at once and act on whichever answers first.

How it works

  1. On Command fires on !status.
  2. Race starts both branches concurrently and continues the moment the first one finishes (Task.WhenAny):
    • branch 0 → Spotify: Now Playing
    • branch 1 → Twitch: Get Stream
  3. Race binds the winner index (0 or 1) to a data output.
  4. To Text turns the winner into a string and Send Chat Message reports it.

This is the shape you'd use to take the fastest of several sources. Swap the branches for whatever real work you need to race. See Race.
