Seems like I should be able to wrap a ReceiveChannel in a Sequence to pass it to another library.

[octylFractal]

sequences are using coroutines for non-async purposes, so you can't do it without runBlocking or similar

[octylFractal]

it's probably not supported by default for this reason

[sbyrne]

I want something like launch { someExternalLibrary.process( channel.asSequence() ) }

[octylFractal]

yes, but sequences are not coroutine-enabled outside of the sequence {} builder

[octylFractal]

so it's still blocking code

[octylFractal]

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() })
}
