Hi. We create a Coroutine Scope, and call a function inside launch. What's the difference between making that function "suspend" and "not suspend(regular)" ?!

suspend functions can call CoroutineContext funtions like `delay()`  or `withContext()` . you will have access to the scope of the coroutine inside of that suspend function.

a regular function won’t have access to any of the coroutines magic

Whether a function is suspending or takes a scope also implies something about its behavior by convention.

If a function has the suspend modifier, it implies it does some asynchronous work and won't return until that work has finished. 

If a function is not suspending but takes a scope, it implies that function will launch a new coroutine to start some async work and then return immediately.

It's an anti-pattern for a function to both have the suspend modifier and take an explicit scope.
