In kotlin, if you have

scope.launch {
  fooSuspendedFun()
  barSuspendedFun()
}

will barSuspendedFun wait until the completion of fooSuspendedFun, or do you need to use something to await the return of the first function?

barSuspendedFun will wait for fooSuspendedFun. The idea of Kotlin coroutines design is that if it looks like a regular function call, it behaves somewhat like a regular function call (suspend or not). So imagine it behaves similarly to seeing 2 regular function calls in a row

[ephemient]

the only functions to do leave the linear control flow that should take a CoroutineScope parameter, such as launch and its receiver

[ephemient]

if a function doesn't take a CoroutineScope (and doesn't break structured concurrency by using GlobalScope or creating its own scope), then it is guaranteed to complete before the next function

Thank you both 🙂
