Async Programming in ES7

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Claims that ES7 adds async/await and async generators to make waiting as simple as blocking, and shows the mechanics: generator + promise composition implemented via spawn (task.js) (also available in Babel/Regenerator) that turns yielded promises into resumed values. Demonstrates concrete code for getStockPrice resolving to a final number, shows for on loop proposal for streaming observables, and notes async functions are draft while async generator/observable ideas remain a strawman.
