Is there an easy way to await the first result of two Deferred and cancel the other?

Cool, thanks! Does this cancel the other one or do I have to call coroutineContext.cancelChildren() like in some of the samples there?

[Dean Djermanović]

you have to cancel it manually

[christophsturm]

i think you can cancel the other one. its also ok to cancel all
