So in the latest release, 
launchInComposition
got renamed to 
LaunchedTask
. Eerily close to 
AsyncTask
in name and functionally (not entirely true) 😆

Copy code
@Composable fun <T> AsyncTask(block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> T): Deferred<T> {
  val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
  return remember { scope.async(block) }
}

I think you just wrote 
produceState
but without the observable result 😄

but yes, the similarity to AsyncTask is both understood and partially intentional - it may go through one more rename before we're done though since we seem to be converging on some other names for the effect APIs like 
SideEffect
and 
DisposableEffect
, and then it might make more sense for this to be 
LaunchedEffect
the fun of alpha api churn 🙂

There's something nice about being able to precisely refer to the family of functions
