# coroutines

so in kotlin/js on the browser.. what is the easiest way to launch a coroutines (ktor client) ?
as far as i can tell there is no functions like runBlocking in coroutines-core-js

use launch on a CoroutineScope such as the GlobalScope, or preferably your own application-specific scope

there is no runBlocking because it doesn't make sense given JS's threading model (there is none). runBlocking implies blocking the current thread, but in JS, there is no other thread, so if your coroutines suspend inside runBlocking, what can resume them? where would the code continue from a suspension point?
