Kotlin: withContext() vs async-await — what's the difference and which to choose?

Hello, colleagues! I recently started learning coroutines in Kotlin, and I got confused between `withContext()` and the `async-await` construct. At first glance, both allow executing code in a different context (e.g., on `Dispatchers.IO`) and getting a result. But I don't understand when to use which. Here's a simple example. Suppose I need to load data from the network and process it: ```kotlin suspend fun loadUser(): User { return withContext(Dispatchers.IO) { // simulating a network request delay(1000) User("Alexey") } } suspend fun loadUserAsync(): User { val deferred = GlobalScope.async(Dispatchers.IO) { delay(1000) User("Alexey") } return deferred.await() } ``` Both functions do the same thing — return a User after one second. But I've heard that `async-await` is often used for parallel tasks, while `withContext` is for switching dispatchers. However, in a simple sequential call, I don't see a difference. Also, I noticed...
