Swift question: there is a library that has some functionality, but it's implemented as an actor. I'm working a a completely synchronous program (a CLI app that builds a static website), but I want to use a function from this actor from normal non-concurrent code.

In the example code for using the library it awaits a function call. Is it possible to call this using some kind of concurrent-in-non-concurrent wrapper?

The library in question is MarkdownSyntax, and I suppose it's implemented as an actor for performance reasons in a UI context (do stuff in the background I presume?).

@torb I’m not sure I understand the question. But a CLI app can use async/await. What’s the real blocker?
@nixzhu Thanks for answering still!
