val coroutineContext = parentScope.coroutineContext + CoroutineName("foo")

Is there a difference between GlobalScope.launch(coroutineContext) {…} and CoroutineScope(coroutineContext).launch {…}?

Under the hood, the second one will have 2 Job instances created, unlike the first one. Other than this slight quite unnoticeable difference, the behavior is strictly the same.

Thanks. I saw the first one being used in the coroutines library and was wondering.

The second one seems more logical as an API user as I have a CoroutineContext and need a CoroutineScope and there is that neat factory 😄
