Is there an in built way of doing something like:

do {
   invoke a suspending method that increments a counter or something
} while {
   another suspending method suspends
}

Where both invocations are simultaneously suspending and executing.

This would be similar to Flow.takeWhile but without using the flow API. Or even a clever way to do this with coroutineScope and async operators

Syntax of what I'm trying to do:

do {
   while(true) {
      ++counter
      delay(100)
   }
} while {
   snapshotFlow { value }
       .first { it is State.Completed }
}

So I already have flow APIs, and I can use Flow.takeWhile, just curious if I can do it with regular suspending methods

launch the "do", cancel the returned Job once the "while" completes

Ty! I thought of doing this, but I hesitated bc I assumed launching within another launch or in this case LaunchedEffect was off

that's one of the main features of coroutines, definitely not off
