what’s the equivalent of a Completable? like if I have a method that just deletes thing and I don’t care what ends up happening with it, I just want to know if it’s done or not

A suspend function

CompletableDeferred is probably what you're looking for. You can await it in a suspend way, or check it's state through getCompleted.

ah this is async await then

[oday]

so no return type @mkrussel?

[mkrussel]

yep

how bold

So not fire-and-forget? A suspend fun without a return type should be better indeed.
