Is it possible to access the return value of a function used in a thread? The below code works, but I like my functions to explicitly return values rather than abuse the "everything is global" feature of lua.
thread = require "thread"
function foo()
bar = 1
return bar --How to access this?
end
t = thread.create(foo)
thread.waitForAll({t}) --Wait for thread to end before obtaining return value
print(bar) -- 1
Somewhat related, Right now I am using threads to achieve a non-blocking io.read(), so I can receive inputs while my timer events still run. Is this good practice or is t
