What causes the IDE to recommend using

withContext(Dispatchers.Default)

over

async

? Is

withContext

more optimal, somehow?

Using

async { }.await()

. Having the two function calls is unnecessary if you aren’t storing the Deferred and having it awaited elsewhere

I didn’t even realize that it had removed the need for the

await()

call, thanks!

Also, `async`+`await` will cancel the parent scope if a crash occurs, which may not be the behavior you want if you use it like

withContext

.

Good to know, thank you.

What is you use case? You just switch dispatcher?
