What's the equivalent of StartCoroutine?

Hi,

Is it possible to start an async unitask from a sync method like using StartCoroutine(method)?

It seems the UniTask loop resides in the unity events sequence somewhere, is it possible to push an async method into that?

Unlike Coroutines, async methods start immediately when you call them.

Yep, we could just push a async method to Unitask by using xxx().Forget();

async UniTaskVoid xxx(){ ... }

btw, coroutine does start immediately until the first yield statement, no?

No, it starts when you pass it to StartCoroutine. It pauses at yield return, similar to how async methods pause at await.
