If I have something like

CoroutineScope(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>).async {
        // Do some work
    }

Would this link the scope that I just created to parent scope (i.e. would parent wait)

what do you mean?

I don’t think it does. Do this instead to be sure the parent scope’s context is inherited

async(context = <http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
        // Do some work
    }

Actually no, if I don't do await on the Deferred coming back. Would my caller scope wait for child scope to terminate? i.e. Does the async body acts like if I were to launch it in

GlobalScope.async

. I am trying to make it behave like

GlobalScope

No, it will not, there is no Parent/Child relationships, new Job will be implicitly created
