Accidentally typed in this

suspend { //some suspending calls here }

and this compiles just fine. Is this the same as

runBlocking{}

🤔

no, it creates a suspend lambda

similar to how

{ ... }

creates a lambda

val x: suspend () -> Unit = suspend {  }

ah it all makes sense with type inference

suspend can be inferred, e.g.

val x: suspend () -> Unit = { }

so it's rare that you need it on the lambda itself, but there might be some cases where it's useful for disambiguation
