What should I use instead of GlobalScope in Kotlin/JS?

I can't seem to find any other `CoroutineScope`s to use...

GlobalScope is discouraged, because it’s better to create your own scope whose lifecycle you control. For example, MainScope() or CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default + SupervisorJob())

[Tianyu Zhu]

Is that because if I write GlobalScope.launch { ... } the resulting job won't get canceled? Is that because... GlobalScope never canceled?

Can you use the promise builder? https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/promise.html

[kevin.cianfarini]

Similar to async but returns a promise which can be awaited in js

Is that because... GlobalScope never canceled?

Yes
