I managed to get bs-readline installed, and even used it more or less appropriately in one context. But now I’ve got another context where I really, really want a “blocking readline”…something where I can write
let s:string = readALine();
and have it wait until a user types something ending with a newline, and then assign that string-value to s. The “bs-readline” model seems (quite reasonably!) to be the callback-model: I tell reasonML what to do when the user types something, and then I go on about my business, and when that event happens, my call-back procedure gets called. Is there some obvious way to turn this into a blocking version? I’m busy reading about Promises (and understanding almost nothing), async, and lots of other Javascript stuff that I’d hoped to never know.
