If I have a coroutine suspend function that returns an Either<Error, Foo>, is there a way to combine the scopes?

scope.launch { either { val x = x().bind shouldn’t compile, because x() needs to be called from a coroutine scope.
either { scope.launch { val x = x().bind should fail at runtime, since the bind exception can’t be caught by the either, right?

So, what can I do?

If the function is supsending already, can you not skip the scope.launch in the first place?

The outer function isn’t suspending, so I need a scope if I want to call x.

That first option should just work! either is inline, so it's transparent to suspend

Great, thanks!
