Run two Kotlin coroutines inside coroutine in parallel

You can use awaitAll for that purpose:

import kotlinx.coroutines.*

suspend fun sendDataAndAwaitAcknowledge() = coroutineScope {
    awaitAll(async {
        awaitAcknowledge()
    }, async {
        sendData()
    })
}

fun sendData() = true

fun awaitAcknowledge() = false

fun main() {
    runBlocking {
        println(sendDataAndAwaitAcknowledge()) // [false, true]
    }
}
