I’ve found myself using this pattern quite a lot, is there a better way (options is Deferred<Map<String, String>?

options.asPromise().then { // get a value from the options map }.asDeferred()

I suppose you can't await(), because you're not in coroutine, right?

[Alex Edwards]

correct. This pattern usually happens when I had something like
val setting = options['settingName'] in my code I don’t often need to add additional coroutines as the functions are usually suspend functions (lots of this code is in db service classes) and i can call await() from there
