i've noticed that with asynchronous programming i quickly end up making almost every function in my code

suspend

. is that a sign of bad code or is this normal? i've read somewhere that at least in C# "async everything" is pretty common but im not sure if that applies to kotlin as well

I don't usually have that. Most of my functions are non-suspend, and I only suspend when going async, but I don't exactly program "asyncronous programming"

Don't make every function

suspend

. There's overhead related to making one

suspend

. Do it only when needed.

It's fine if most of your code asyncronous, just do not mark code that non asyncronous as suspend, it's useless and you just pay overhead

It’s a bit different if you are using Arrow and their Fx library; any function that is not pure should be annotated as

suspend

. 🙂 :arrow:
