03/11/2019, 8:52 PMsequences are using coroutines for non-async purposes, so you can't do it without
runBlockingit's probably not supported by default for this reason

launch { someExternalLibrary.process( channel.asSequence() ) }o

sequence {}so it's still blocking code
you could probably write a similar api to sequences, that is fully async, but there's not a current primitive for it, because I think ReceiveChannel already has a lot of the features in it

sequence {
yield(runBlocking { channel.receive() })
