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

```@Composable fun &lt;T&gt; AsyncTask(block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -&gt; T): Deferred&lt;T&gt; {
  val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
  return remember { scope.async(block) }
}```
:troll:

I think you just wrote `produceState` but without the observable result :smile:

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 :slightly_smiling_face:

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