so i know i cannot block on javascript.. but does anyone have a snippet for kotlin-js that does approximately the same thing as runBlocking and returning the result ?
something like

val derferred = async {  ... }
while(!deferred.isCompleted) {
   delay(10)
}
return deferred.getCompleted()

except since i am not in a coroutine i cannot use delay outside of it..

Well, you already know the answer 😉
Not possible.

how would one then implement things like initlaizing dependencies in eg. koin
in a () -> T ? if there was a callback or such i could do .then ..

[Marc Knaup]

Dependencies are initialized synchronously. No coroutines, no async code.

My advice would be to have your entire app in suspend scope. Starting with "suspend fun main() {}"

If you really want to have something "blocking" you can implement it with while loop polling for completion
