Why does the route not return until what is running inside the launch is done? I thought that `launch` returned immediatly and ran whatever was inside on a new thread.
```
launch {
    doStuff()
}
call.respond(Created)
```

It's launched inside the CoroutineScope of the current call though. So it will wait until all child jobs are done

Yeah I figured. I now use `Dispatchers.Default` instead as suggested here <https://medium.com/@elizarov/the-reason-to-avoid-globalscope-835337445abc> it works!

Doesn't this mean that the launch can be cancelled if the route returns?

Dont know, it does not get cancelled for me

It should get cancelled if the only difference is that you're using a different Dispatcher. The route shouldn't return until the job is done still afaik
