Right now, the package lacks support of async await. Should this be implemented?

What is the back compatibility like for this? I like the premise of async/await syntax but I don't fully know the benefits over the promise system.

Async / Await is just syntactic sugar. There is no real change in functionality. You can write cleaner code in terms of avoiding callbacks.

I see. How far back is async/await supported. I assume we'd have to drop support for older node versions.

Earliest is Node v7.6
according to this article.

But v8 supports it for sure!

Okay this seems reasonable to me, this is a feature which I'm interested in having.
