Is there some (even dumb) implementatio of runBlocking for JS?

The project I'm working has this: expect fun <T> runBlocking(context: CoroutineContext = EmptyCoroutineContext, block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> T): T

I tried someting like:

var result: T? = null
val job = GlobalScope.launch { result = block }
while (!job.isCompleted) {}
return result!!

Yeah, I know it has many mistakes, but the main problem is the while loop block the execution of the coroutine.

But this works only for tests

Js runtime is non-blocking by design. Nodejs just kinda hacks it with their sync io apis
