<@U0B8UEMV1> There is such implementation of dispatcher. It is called `EventLoop`. You can use it, but it makes sense only if you process event from this event loop which is a blocking operation. That is what `runBlocking` does. It creates `EventLoop` for the current thread and then spins on this event loop, waiting for completion. You can take a look at internals of `runBlocking` to see what happens there. It is possible to decouple creating event loop from the actual blocking, so in a sense it is possible to have `async(EventLoop()) { ... }.runBlocking()` if you define the corresponding `.runBlocking()` extension. However, this code reads really ugly and in a backwards way, so I strongly suggest doing it as `runBlocking { ... }`, which already works.
