Out of curiosity, why isn't runBlocking in the standard library? Since you can suspend without kotlinx.coroutines, shouldn't you be able to at least block without it?

You cant block in javascript

[Dominaezzz]

Oh. runBlocking doesn't work in JavaScript? Didn't know that.

Responses to say an http request must be handled by the event loop on the main thread but since that is blocked by runBlocking how would that work out ?

Yes, you cannot implement runBlocking on JS to work the same way as on JVM
