I'm trying to read from an input device asynchronously. I tried the obvious
@async begin
dev = open(STICK_INPUT_DEV)
while true
s = read(dev, Stick)
if s.ev_type == EV_KEY
println(s)
end
end
end
But this doesn't seem to yield correctly. The full code is available here:

I did come across this related discussion for file IO which didn't really
resolve the issue:

What's the best way to do this?
