Call of a suspended Kotlin function

Since courutines are supported in common code (#3) i was wondering if it is now possible to call a suspended function from lua?

I tryed to implement:

object : VarArgFunctionSuspend(){
    override suspend fun invokeSuspend(args: Varargs): Varargs {
        delay(1000) 
    }
}   

and added it as a module like in MathLib but i am unable to call/resume it

I also tryed to wrap the function in a LuaThread but it also do not work.

@soywiz Do you have an ide how an externeal suspended kotlin function can be called?

Support of coroutines

👋 Hello,

Recently, I've been enjoying playing around with luak.

I created a small game engine with Kotlin Multiplatform. The great thing about luak is that it allows you to create games using LUA scripting.

Behind the scene, it's using luak and as you can see, It's working splendidly 👏.

During my exploration, I delved into the LUA coroutine support and discovered that the implementation relies on the notify/wait system provided by Java (lua4j legacy). However, when it comes to the JavaScript version, the implementation is currently missing.

This led me to wonder if there's a way to address this gap. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't find a suitable solution to enable coroutine support in luak on the JavaScript platform.

I was hoping you might have some insights or knowledge about whether it's possible to support coroutines in luak on the JavaScript platform.

Thank you!

Not able to compile the Project

As mentiond in the titel. is the project right now in a state where it could be compiled?

Dokka Documentation

Jitpack Does not build.

Forgot to mention it here but Jitpack also does not build the repository, and as such I still cant use luak as a external repo.

I originally was going to make a PR for it, but after attempting for a few hours to fix it, I decided to leave it to people who actually know what they are doing,

Hope this could get fixed soon! I would really like to use the repo.
