(cross question from coroutines) Is it a typical pattern to pass around the coroutine scope (io.ktor.application.Application object) as a parameter to my suspend functions?

[tseisel]

It's actually an anti pattern to have suspend fun CoroutineScope.foo(). An extension function on CoroutineScope should start coroutines in the provided scope, while a suspend fun should only return after all its async work is done.
To access the current scope from a suspend fun, use the coroutineScope block.
