I think we should at least consider for a moment reserving `await` within
the body of arrow functions. Consider the following event handling
scenario, where lexical `this` is an important feature:
this.button.on("click", $=> {
this.getDataAsync().then(data => {
this.showData(data);
});
});
If JS gets async functions, then users will naturally want to express such
a construct with await:
this.button.on("click", $=> {
let data = await this.getDataAsync();
this.showData(data);
});
If we get async functions, then I think that we will want an arrow form.
It would be a shame to have to invent new syntax to support it.
Thoughts?
