support Async/Await

[BlackGlory]

Backcall <- can not handle Promise rejection by try...catch and must call .then() method manually.
LiveScript has Generators/Yield but it cannot be compatible with Async/Await.

It's not just a matter of what async/await does and whether you like it (I don't). I think many users will simply expect it to be there "in this day and age".

[vendethiel]

there's a PR for it (that's been sitting there for a year-or-so). backcall is a different tool – maybe for a different time

See gkz/LiveScript#836. Does it have anything to fix (other than removed await*)?

@dk00 (You might want to add @vendethiel to the @livescript org, BTW - he's a committer to the main repo. 😉)

I revoked my own access rights around a year ago, after the 1.5.0 fiasco.

[dead-claudia]

Oh. Never mind, then.
