node REPL is not working after let win = new Window(800, 600)

[rkompass]

The title says it basically.

I'm a beginner with node. I installed skia-canvas to have a way to explore drawing on a canvas/window outside a browser. I use Manjaro Linux, installed with npm install skia-canvas

After starting node in a terminal I typed:

const {Window} = require('skia-canvas')
let win = new Window(800, 600)

after that I can see my typing no longer...., seems the node REPL is gone.

Any help is appreciated.

I saved the third example in the Readme.md that described drawing on a window in a file and started it with node. That worked, so I conclude that skia-canvas is working.

Do I need some kind of asynchronous setup (and an async REPL) to achieve interactivity? Help on this is welcome, thank you.

Seems like setTimeout stop working too. It starts to work only when skia-canvas window close called.

For more detail about the event-loop behavior you're describing, take a look at the Window docs: Responding to Events.
