Re: [Caml-list] Question about Lwt/Async

[Yaron Minsky <yminsky@janestreet.com>]

Not easily at present, I think. Obviously. if you run two runtimes in
two threads, you can do it, but it's ugly.  If you had
lwt-on-async-runtime available, as was discussed in the thread, then
you could do it, but you'd need some extra overhead to create matching
pairs of Lwt.t's and Deferred.t's, since those two types would not be
equal.

So, with some overhead, yeah, I think you could do it.
