No updates to DOM till code completes

[Deepti]

Hi guys,

I am running a very simple loop with Skulpt.

for i in range(n):

  x= input("enter your text")

  y = process(x)

  print("here is the result ", y)

The problem is that till the program completes, the DOM doesn't update. So when the code runs, it shows a bunch of alerts and finally displays the result together which is very confusing for an end user.

Is this because the generated js code is a blocking call? Do I need use suspensions to work around it? 

Really appreciate any suggestions.
