Anyone know of a way to convert a <stream.Writable...

Anyone know of a way to convert a stream.Writable into something synchronous, like Java's java.io.OutputStream ???

[Matt Nelson]

Only way I know with Kotlin is via coroutines and make the write function of my wrapper a suspend function, but that is undesireable.

[Robert Jaros]

I would say there is no way to convert async to sync in a single threaded environment.

[Matt Nelson]

So you're saying I have to open a file descriptor, wrap it with a stream.Readable to pass to the ChildProcess for stdin, then write to that file descriptor via writeSync?

[Matt Nelson]

Uggh... don't even know if that'll work, and would need to be a named descriptor (file path) b/c can't open a unix pipe (or MS version of pipes)...

[Edoardo Luppi]

The answer is you cannot. I already went through the desperation phase and accepted it.

[Matt Nelson]

Yup, I spent about 2 hours trying to get something to work with custom stream.Duplex implementations, etc.

The end result was sucking it up and adding the coroutines dependency sad panda
