ScopedViewModel

I C, got it, I have converted my project from experimental to non-experimental and I have seen a lot different things.

I prefer

    override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext
        get() = Dispatchers.Main + job

private val scope: CoroutineScope = job + Dispatchers.Main
doesn't compile... it expect a CoroutineScope

Yes, it doesn't compile, I have solved it like this:
protected val scope: CoroutineScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main + job)

Great stuff!
Is it ok implement CoroutineScope from viewModel and just use launch instead of scope.launch?
