Anyone know of a way to convert a <https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#class-streamwritable|stream.Writable> into something synchronous, like Java's `java.io.OutputStream` ???

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

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

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`?

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)...

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

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:
