TeaVM: Build Fast, Modern Web Apps in Java

What's the recommended way to drop into blocking code? For example, if you already have a worker thread pool executing some blocking code.

I am guessing it will automatically look for static occurrences of park(), wait(), etc anything that goes into a blocked state and yields to the next handler on the event queue?

Even with the coroutine support, it doesn't seem smart enough to make something like "while (true) { ... }" auto-yield to other functions or handlers on the event queue. To be fair, it's not like javascript does this for you either.

To use "blocking" code you must be running in a Java thread. You cannot "block" the main javascript thread. Generally all of our code runs on a Java thread. For JS events (which always occur on the main JS thread, I just wrap in new Thread(()->{...}).start();
