So.. is it safe to use `runCatching` in coroutines for control flow? I gather it will catch CancelationException as well. Won't that break stuff?

It depends, but in general I wouldn't use it, because you'll also catch `CancellationException`, which you usually don't want to catch by default

See an interesting discussion here: <https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/1814|https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/1814>
I commented there too, because I had the same question as you and I did some more research

Does this help?

that is what I had in mind, I was wondering if there was some ‘standard’, but I can just write it and use it in my project. Thanks!
