Is it possible in the Rust side to pause the Runtime execution? To have, for example, a function that delays execution without blocking any threads, returning context back to the original Rust caller?
This would make for great use in game scripting when certain elements are known to have delays that can then, from the Rust end, be continued once time has expired without hogging any resources.
In the example project, I've seen lots of normal flow functions:
However, what I'm after would be similar to a wait_for_keypress(x) function, where the Rust wrapper application handles the actual continuation once the key was pressed, without really blocking the cpu.
