Hi,
is there a way to write anonymous suspend function?
```
val func = {
// <- here I cannot call suspend functions
}
``

There's a special syntax to define a suspend lambda :

val func = suspend {
    delay(100)
}

[spand]

Its actually just a normal inline function

[Antanas A.]

it will work with no argument

[Antanas A.]

but actually I need an anonymous functions with parameters

[Antanas A.]

val func = suspend { from: Int ->

            }

[Antanas A.]

don't work

[spand]

Then put the proper type on the func: val func : suspend (Int) -> Unit = {}

[Antanas A.]

so actually to write anonymous suspend function I need to assign it to some variable with explicitly defined type?

[spand]

Pretty sure suspend has to be inferred for lambdas

[Dico]

Yeah sadly this is not yet supported.

[Dico]

You can declare the type of the variable explicitly as a workaround

[Antanas A.]

ok, thanks

[spand]

If you want then you can still make your own suspend function like the stdlib one that takes one, two, three args or whatever you need

[Dico]

But you would need to name it differently
