Hey! I did a quick search on this channel about asynchronous and coroutine safe subprocesses, and I didn't find anything relevant. Any suggestions on how to achieve this properly? (thinking of Python's asyncio.create_subprocess_shell)

What do you want to do with that?

But isn't that threaded? Meaning it will halt my coroutine context if I use it?

Kotlinx.io has announced that feature I believe, however it's far from being ready (at least according to their README)
