😱
You cannot use
async/awaitin the global scope. By wrapping your code in anasyncfunction, this trick will let you useawait.Are you sure about that? I know that you can't use
awaitwithoutasyncbut if I remember correctly I've usedasyncfunction in top-level scope a few times 🤔Anyway, I was thinking about that semicolon at the beginning which purpose is to guard against AST, confusing and ugly syntax IMO.

I like the first 2 definitions best. Besides that, it's just short and convenient to type.
You could always copy the module into your project!
npmis just there as a convenience.You Javascript people need Monads, or some decent metaprogramming, or macros, whatever make you stop creating libraries from every single useful snippet of code out there
good idea
