I don't think this will work given the staging that happens with module
loading/linking/etc. But I have another option which I think will work
just fine:
export async function main() {
// your async code here
}
If you export a main function and run that from the command line (e.g. node
my-module-with-main.js), the runtime executes the main module. This takes
care of some other problems as well, like testing for whether or not the
module is executed as a program versus a library.
Maybe?
