Sorry if this is basic question (and hopefully right place to ask it) but is there way to call suspend functions in a Kotlin Notebook?

[John O'Reilly]

hmm, I guess I can just use something like GlobalScope.launch ?

[roman.belov]

Yep, currently, you have to wrap then in 'runBlocking' context. We'll change it for K2

Use GlobalScope.launch if you want the asynchronous job handle or runBlocking. It is possible to add scope to notebook state or even add it as an implicit receiver, but it does not simplify things a lot.

Thanks, ended up using runBlocking 👍 e.g. https://twitter.com/joreilly/status/1678008606258495488?s=20
