how do you create a coroutine scope for the main thread when you're not using Android? there's no Dispatchers.Main

[Brian Carbone]

it's just the jvm

IIRC, you'd need a thread that is part of a pool tied to a queue on which Coroutines are scheduled (in Android that would be called a Looper). A plain main JVM thread does not meet that requirement.

If you use JavaFx or Java Swing, there's ui integrations for it. Otherwise, you just use runBlocking { ... } in the main function.
